Research direction
Start by reproducing the Explorer.exe copy from outside the projected filesystem into it and inspect the available ProjFS logs. Compare this behavior with the working create, modify, delete, copy, and move operations described in the issue; the issue is resolved when the copy completes without Explorer.exe hanging and the cause is documented.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I have developed a program using ProjFS to synchronize files between my backend and a Windows session. Everything works as expected within the projected filesystem: I can create, modify, delete, copy, and move files.
However, when I try to copy a file from outside the projected filesystem into it, Explorer.exe gets stuck during the copy process. I don’t receive any errors or logs from ProjFS, which makes it difficult to debug the issue.
Has anyone encountered this problem before or have suggestions on how to resolve it? I can share specific parts of the code if needed.
Thank you in advance for your help!
