I was using TeraCopy quite happily in Windows 10.

In Windows 11 even though TeraCopy is set as default copy handler within software it does not work as such.

Any ideas how to solve issue?

I have tried contacting Code Sector for help but they never reply.

@jaburmester ,

I have Teracopy Pro and it successfully migrated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 some years ago.

I have attached a copy of my Teracopy Preferences settings.

If your settings are the same, then I would next uninstall Teracopy, reboot, and reinstall it. It should ask you to designate it as the default copy app. It is possible that there was a "hiccup" somewhere in your Windows 11 installation that might have changed your Teracopy registry settings.

Have you run a System File Checker scan as an Administrator? Brink should have a Tutorial here on that.

Have a great day.,

Regards,
Phil

I uninstalled TerraCopy Pro 3.17 and now when I try and reinstall I get the above error.

Please note I do not have access to C:\User\jabur\AppData\Roaming\Cose Sector\TeraCopy 3.17\install\53E6B13\TeraCopy.exe as this location does not exist.

Any ideas how to resolve issue.

Managed to install by first installing an old version of TeraCopy from 10/10/21 and then updating to latest version.

3.17 has been around a while.
I prefer to not set it as my default copy handler but have it added to my context menu as a choice. I just use explorer for the small stuff.
If you just install teracopy using it's defaults, you're missing out:

TeraCopy 4.0 Final​

TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features.
  • Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives.
  • Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
  • Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
  • Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files.
  • Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.
TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features:
  • Copy/move to your favorite folders.
  • Save reports as HTML and CSV files.
  • Select files with the same extension/folder.
  • Remove the selected files from the copy queue.
