Windows 10 1511

  • Make copy of folder with attributes +R/+S on same partition - Copy has same attributes set
  • Make copy of folder with attributes +R/+S on different partition - Copy has same attributes set
  • Move folder with attributes +R/+S on same partition - Folder still has same attributes set
  • Move folder with attributes +R/+S to different partition - Folder still has same attributes set

Windows 10 1607

  • Make copy of folder with attributes +R/+S on same partition - Copy loses attributes
  • Make copy of folder with attributes +R/+S on different partition - Copy loses attributes
  • Move folder with attributes +R/+S on same partition - Folder still has same attributes set
  • Move folder with attributes +R/+S to different partition - Folder loses attributes

  1. Does this affect everyone? (Update: Seems to be the case. Given the comments below though, for anyone testing this behavior I repeat, please check for folder and not file attributes.)

  2. Is it a bug or a deliberate change by Microsoft? (And if the latter, was it announced anywhere?)

  3. Regardless of the answer to #2, is there any way to make 1607 behave the same as 1511?

  • So 1607 behaves exactly like 1511 for you? Can you mention the exact editions and versions you tested on? 1511 (10586.589) and 1607 (14393.187) for me behave the way I've described above. Perhaps the change was introduced in a cumulative update.

  • The current version, Windows 10 build 14393.187, which is the current version as of today. "So 1607 behaves exactly like 1511 for you?" - exactly the same. I saw no point in trying Version 1511, because you can't reproduce the behavior on it, and its not the current version of Windows 10. "Is it a bug or a deliberate change by Microsoft?" - its neither a bug or a feature change.

  • I create a Folder called Test, a file called Text.txt. I set the +S +R on the file, created a copy of the folder, and then viewed the attributes on the new file that was created in the new folder. The attributes were exactly the same. This was the case if I created it in on the same partition or not. This is basic NTFS behavior.

  • I also forced the update to 14393.221, the behavior was as expected, exactly like it always worked.

  • If you have a solution, post the solution. In general, including commentary detracts from the answer. Commentary whose only purpose is to make a personal attack on another user is contrary to the site's fundamental rule to "be nice".
