Why do my files automatically copy when I select them in Windows 11?

Asked By CuriousCat57 On

Hey everyone, I've been having a weird issue with Windows 11. Whenever I select multiple files to either delete or move, they end up being automatically copied and pasted instead. This seems to happen only if I keep them selected for over a minute. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

This could be a problem with your keyboard. If you're using a cheap mechanical keyboard, it might be malfunctioning. Try disconnecting it and then perform the selection again to see if the copying still happens. That way, you can narrow it down to whether the keyboard is causing the issue.

I don't think it's the keyboard. When I select text, it doesn't happen, so it seems like a glitch in File Explorer.
