About this tag
The copyperformance tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about file copying behavior in Windows, particularly when copying multiple sets of files simultaneously. Users report that starting a second copy operation pauses the first, which can be frustrating when they want the quickest transfer to finish first. Topics include the performance impact of concurrent copies, how Windows handles queuing, and potential workarounds or settings to improve efficiency. The tag is relevant for users seeking to optimize file transfer workflows and understand system limitations.

Copying multiple sets of files at once
Is it just me, or have Microsoft removed their brilliant feature of copying two sets of files at once? I copy a big set of files. It's taking ages. I tell it to copy another set. The first set pauses! Why? I want the quickest to end first, so something is achieved earlier!- Sunny Rio
