Solution 2. Disable Windows ODX

Windows ODX stands for Offloaded Data Transfer. This feature increases the speed of copy and move operations on the server. But sometimes, ODX can cause problems. Therefore, if ODX is enabled on your Windows Server, you should disable it and see if it helps.

If ODX is enabled on your Windows Server, the value of FilterSupportedFeaturesMode in the Windows Registry will show 0. To confirm this, open Windows PowerShell as an administrator, copy and paste the following command, and press Enter:

Get-ItemProperty hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\control\filesystem -Name “FilterSupportedFeaturesMode”

If FilterSupportedFeaturesMode appears as 0 in Windows PowerShell, ODX is enabled on Windows Server. Now you should disable it. To do this, execute the following command in Windows PowerShell Administration:

Set-ItemProperty hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\control\filesystem -Name “FilterSupportedFeaturesMode” -value 1

Then the problem should now be resolved.
