Copy status box not showing transfer speed

Question

For the last week or so, the box showing the status of copy/paste actions has stopped showing the transfer speed

instead it looks like this (file names blacked out):

as you can see the text where it should show the speed is cut off part way.

I have tried updating windows but the problem persists.

Good day! I'm Raniel, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Just to clarify, did you make any changes to your machine before encountering this issue?

Aside from updating your Windows, kindly run the SFC and DISM command as well to repair system files

1. On the search bar, type "command prompt" and select Run as administrator
2. Type the following commands in order

sfc /scannow then press Enter

Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth then press Enter

Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /ScanHealth then press Enter

Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth then press Enter

Once done, perform a clean boot and check again: https://support.microsoft.com/help/929135/how-t...

If that didn't work, kindly enable the "built-in" administrator account to isolate the issue:

1. On your search bar, type command prompt and select "run as administrator"
2. On the command prompt window, type net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter
3. Reboot your machine, then login to your admin account, and check if you'll encounter the same issue.

Note: If you don't encounter the issue on the built-in administrator account, I suggest that you create a new user account (go through the steps under "My computer is in a workgroup") . Please refer to this article as a guide: https://support.microsoft.com/help/14039/window...

I hope this helps. Good luck!
