How old are the drives you are using?

Hmm. Since the drives aren't old, I am now out of Ideas as to what could be the issue. I know it's not just Windows 8, as I know of no one within my circle of classmates, friends, and family tat have had this issue with 8, or 8.1, nor have I had it myself. My guess, is it's something to with your install, and the hardware you're using + drivers suffering some sort of incompatibility, but it's something I can't track down from here.

Greetings , well i think i found the source of the Problem , i borrowed a Computer with Windows 8 on it from a good friend , and on this Computer i have the same Problem , we found out that it maybe has something to do with the missing Audio and Video Codec in Windows 8 , Windows 7 have it all , but Windows 8 dont .

 

and i think it "hangs" when the Explorer is trying to Show the thumbnail .

In which case, downland and install the K-Lite codec pack. Win 8 and 7 don't even come close to having all of the codecs, but my best guess, is you may still have the default player app set, which is actually pretty shitty. K-Lite codec pack with Media Player Classic Home Cinema will be able to play just about any video file you through at it, aside from the really obscure ones

Hi

 

I have a Major Problem with my Computer and i Need some Help to solve it and therefore iam here in this nice Forum. It is a more or less Long Story to tell this Problem , i start right away to tell you the Story.

 

It was November 2012 when i bought my "new" System with the following Components : CPU    =   Intel i7 3770k ( but i never overclocked it , it was just cheaper as the normal one )

                                                                                                                                             Mobo   =   Asus P8Z77 I Deluxe

                                                                                                                                             Case    =  Bitfenix Prodigy

                                                                                                                                             Ram     =  8gb Corsair

 

 

So everything runs fine with it till the Summer 2013 came , then it began to overheat i solved this issue with buying a better cooler and 2 more Case fans but , on December 2013 i bought a new GPU for Playing and Recording Video Games and the Pc overheat again so i bought a new Mainboard ( Asrock Z77 Pro 4 ) and a new Case ( Define R4 ) and Windows 8 Pro , i build it all together and it worked fine for few months. Now we get closer to the Major Problem i have with the Computer or with Windows 8 (8.1) , i do lots of photograph and Video recording and when i Need to Copy or Move the Photo or Video Data to the Computer or away or on another drive in the Computer it Stops Copying at a Random Point. Then i heard about DataManager Software and i tried a Tool called " Double Commander " and with this Program i can copy , move every "multimedia" without any Problems , but i don't wont to use thirdparty Software for a Standart usage Scenario that Windows 7 ( on the same Computer ) and Linux is capable to do , So can anybody Help me with that Windows 8 (8.1) Data copy problem ?.

 

Edit1 : how can i post Screenshots in a Forum ?

Edit2 : sometimes i can copy the files with the Windows Explorer but in 99% not.

 

Thanks in advance!

hi mate it looks like your hard drive is on the wayout best thing is to buy a new harddrive and clone it before it finally fails.

Greetings !

So i bought a new SSD , and 2 New Harddrives , and it happens again , but now the main Problem expand ! some times i now i cant delete multimedia files , because some Windows Service Blocks the Windows Explorer , its called COM SURROGATE when i kill this Service it starts right away from where it stops , this explains it why it works with Linux and Vista and 7 because COM SURROGATE is not so CLOSE to the System , even with the new Test Version of Windows 10 it stops Transfering or Delete Data...

 

what can i do now  ?

 

Edit1 : when it stops the Ram runs Full ( over ) idk

 

Edit2 : I did a Fresh Installation of Windows 8 , and Run SFC /scannow right after it was installed , it found some defectiv Files...

whatever installation media you are using is corrupted, get a new one.

Hello

 

I have now installed Windows 8 again , right after the Installation i run sfc /scannow it found nothing , then i tried to copy some multimedia files to the new Harddrive and at around 20% it got stuck , the Com Surrogate Service blocked the "Transfer Operation" i killed this Com Surrogate thing and then the Explorer Startet new . Now i run sfc /scannow again und it found defective Files.

 

Edit: i think it has something to do with the Thumbnail mini Picture ... now the  COM SURROGATE is active and i cant even watch .jpg files , why Windows 8 and 8.1 and 10 are not able to do normal stuff like that ? but Windows Vista , 7 and Linux can ..

On this Picture i only want the rightclick the multimediafile and open the properties but right after the click it got stucked

it found corrupted files because you ended a core windows service...

All this is pointing towards a dead drive. When you transfer smaller files it works fine, right? It's when you do bigger ones it fails, right?

Yes thats right , but why does it not happen on Windows 7 and so on ?

what i just found out , on Windows 7 the files have thumbnail on Windows 8 they dont.

 

Well , why should all my harddrive be defectiv ? , because yesterday i bought some new drives.

 

can it be that the Files are defect by itself ?

 

 

this Problem drives me Crazy ... when iam doing some Video Editing with Adobe Premiere Elements everything is ok , when i try to Copy that file to another Harddrive or UsbKey etc. sometimes it workes sometimes not..

each windows operating system had some changes.

this same issue also appears on OS10.8 and higher, but not anything lower.

It is just how they handle file systems now.
