Folders renaming themselves!?!? See gif as proof
I copied some stuff and noticed that a folder - Pictures & Pets had seemingly renamed itself to Pictures without asking or even notifying me. See this gif I made that shows it in action.
I've never seen anything like this before, and I've used Windows 12+ hours a day for well over a decade.
I just updated to a fresh Windows 10 install. The folders were initially created in Windows 7. If I create a new folder with the same name, I cannot replicate this anymore. This is only a problem when copying the actual folder that I originally created in Windows 7. Still, it makes me worried what other shenanigans it might be doing to my data without me knowing.
At a glance, no other folders copied from Windows 7 have this issue, including other folders with an ampersand in the name. No files seem to have been affected.
What in the heck is this?
