Hey Randy, I was looking around the APPS page of Windows 8.1 and noticed that a couple of the programs that I deleted yesterday still had files showing up in the APPS page even though I deleted the programs, anyway after deleting the files in APPS, all is well and I can now cut/copy and paste...
OK I did a couple experiments, using the mouse, all issues were the same, using track pad and same issues but quicker results(seemed to close on me quicker) and last experiment was what you suggested and everything work OK
file explorer cut and still closes after trying to cut/copy and paste from right window to left, I can cut/copy in the same window just fine, but if I try to cut/copy and paste it into a different folder in the left window, it freezes then closes as soon as I right click on folder to select...
Um, I don't know which application fixed the issue, but it's all working now, weird, Trouble, thank you for your wisdom, I did learn a lot just from reading your posts, I never new about the sfc/scannow program :up: You rock:peace:
