Following the most recent update, file transfer to my WD NAS devices in Windows 11 is broken.
When I copy or move a file from my computer to a WD MyCloud device, the initial transfer is exceedingly slow - 3 or 4 MB per second. If I pause and then resume - the progress bar leaps way forward and the transfer rate is very high. It then slows down to a crawl. Eventually the transfer seems to complete but the transfer dialog box refuses to close. It won’t close even if I cancel the transfer. It’s so bad that Windows 11 is hung and won’t even reboot unless I disconnect power.
I have a very fast 100 MB local connection - and in spite of this - every time I transfer a file to my NAS, it’s gated at 3 or 4 MB/sec - until I hit pause - and then resume and it leaps forward - only to slow again just short of transfer. If I hit pause a second time - the entire process hangs so badly that I cannot even reboot my computer without powering it down.
