File from windows 11 to windows 10

[phantom313]

I create a file in Windows 11 on a USB drive. Take the drive to a Windows 10 pc. Then the drive shows no file. I cannot get Windows 10 to show any files created in Windows 11. Why???????

Any type jpg or a backup file or any file just does not show.

You're doing something wrong.

That is NO problem, even going back multiple Windows versions.

Did you perform safe removal of USB drive, when you disconnected it from windows 11 pc?

On windows 11, I plug in a USB drive. Use files explorer to copy a file to this drive. I know it copies the file as it takes awhile to complete. Then take this drive to windows 10. Plug it in. Then look into the drive and it shows nothing on the drive. It happens with a USB stick too.

In Win 11, after the copy process, did you verify the files were on the drive?

I had the same problem a few weeks back, it happened within the same Windows 10 user folders... I saved an image file that by default was supposed to be .png but I saved it to .jpg, next I browsed through Windows Explorer to the location folder, and the file didn't show. Next I saved another copy in .png and had no problem with that file format.

Next I saved a second .jpg file in the same folder, and the previous file was visible through the Save-As window, but after browsing through Windows Explorer to the target folder, both .jpg files were missing... again I looked through the Save-As window and they were there.

Both files showed up later on. So who knows what exactly happened, but a Google search brings-up an issue with Windows 10 having trouble seeing .jpg files and displaying them, and says the problem is using MSPaint instead of Photos, which is the Windows 10 default image viewer. I have MSPaint set as the default application so that may explain it in my case... I hope this gives you some insight, at least on the .jpg image files.

yes they are.... and I just tried it again and they are now showing. I've had the problem for weeks and just now it started working. I just updated windows 11 do you think that could have fixed it ?????
