Windows 10 reportedly has an MTP problem with Android devices: if you use the OS to move data on a USB-attached Android phone or tablet, you may lose your files. According to this author, users cannot move files between folders in Android memory, as it will cause data loss, and copied files do not arrive in the destination folder.
I ran a short test under Windows 7 SP1 with a Motorola Moto G5. The files could be copied or moved there without any problems. The test under Windows 10 version 1703 produced exactly the expected result – it doesn’t work. I couldn’t test whether earlier versions of Windows 10 or individual builds were affected. At heise. de there is a reference to reader comments that Linux systems (openSUSE, Ubuntu) are also affected.
