Description:
Hugely annoying Windows 11 bug that seriously slowed down copying files is 
resolved with Moment 2 update.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Windows 11 is about to get the full fix for a bug that causes serious 
aggravation to some users when trying to copy big files. 

This problem has been around for some time, but Microsoft has finally got a 
handle on it, because as Windows Latest points out, the cure is bundled up 
with the freshly revealed Moment 2 update for Windows 11 22H2 . 

That update is already available as an optional offering  still in preview, 
in other words, but up for grabs to all Windows 11 users (not just testers)  
and itll be fully rolling out with the final deployment of Moment 2 which 
happens next Tuesday (March 14). 

So, if youve been hit by this bug, the resolution is imminent, thankfully. 
The issue badly slows down the copying of larger files, with some reports 
weve seen in the past saying that hefty copy operations can actually take 
twice as long as they should. Nasty indeed. 

Windows Latest made this discovery thanks to readers who informed the site 
that file copying had reverted to normal speeds following the installation of 
patch KB5022913 (Moment 2 preview). 

A tech consultant told the website: We ran into this problem in December when 
we upgraded our 100 devices to Windows 11 22H2. The files were taking a lot 
longer to copy over than they should. We noticed some file transfers were 
almost twice slower. Our users confirmed this is no longer the case after the 
KB5022913 update. Analysis: A long time in the making 

As mentioned, this problem has been around for a while  indeed a fix was 
applied in testing way back at the start of December 2022. That means it will 
have taken three and a half months for the test patch to actually reach the 
release version of Windows 11. (Assuming that it is included with Moment 2 
and doesnt get ditched at the last, erm, moment, if problems have been 
encountered with the optional preview update). 

 When we first reported on this , we were keeping our fingers crossed for a 
swift fix, but that didnt happen, so presumably this was a knotty problem 
that took quite some untangling. Granted, the bug mainly affects those on 
enterprise networks, but folks running small office or home networks have 
also been hit. 

The Moment 2 update fixes a bunch of other bugs, as you might expect  
including File Explorer glitches and a flaw with Bluetooth keyboards  and it 
adds a whole pile of features to Windows 11. That includes Phone Link for iOS 
(finally), improvements for touchscreen devices, and much more ( weve got a 
deep dive on all the additions right here ). Oh, and itll also usher in the 
Bing AI to the taskbar (sort of, from time to time  we talk about this 
further here ).
