Caution: Stop file transfers in Windows 10 before closing or cancelling them.
Hey everyone, Prettty much what the titles says... I'd like to know if there's a way to get a warning before closing/cancelling file transfers in Windows 10. Let's say I'm moving multiple files (100GB, i.e.) between two drives (D: and E: in my case). If by any chance I close the file transfer window/dialog that Windows shows, I have no way of knowing which files are left in the transfer or, even if I do, it's a big hassle to have to manually select files and folders in a situation like that. So, it strikes me that with all the warnings Windows has built-in, this isn't one of them. I use a Logitech G502 as my mouse and one of my side buttons is configured for Alt+F4. However, it's not the first time that's happened to me, that I'm closing multiple Windows and maybe I click too many times and close the file transfer dialog window. Any way I can force Windows to say like "Hey, are you sure you want to cancel this file transfer?" before actually closing it?
I’m not familiar with a method for this, but for big moves or resumable transfers, I use FreeFileSync.
