I have recently attempted to sync a few files with the xcopy command, and I was wondering why it seems to take at least 10x longer with xcopy when compared to dragging and dropping a file? Is there a new revamped copy of xcopy that's faster?

Thanks

  So this was decided before Trump because they didn’t want to spend the money to upgrade computers for Windows 11? Sounds like the same money over security mindset we saw in the UK with banks and healthcare, only we stuck with Windows XP and didn’t even bother upgrading the hardware, software, or operating systems. Was a wild time, still is our services are often down, dated or getting hacked.

  I wish companies when they would make a sequal to these old movies could some how use the same camera's they used back then. Go the film route, to make it look like it came out of the 80's This new HD digital stuff, just takes you out of the move.
