When files are moved into or within administrator protected folders, the operation completes successfully, but the Status Centre incorrectly reports that the move has failed.

Steps To Reproduce

  • Go to a folder that requires administrator permissions to modify (Say, C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs)
  • Move a file into the folder, or move an existing file
  • Allow administrator action
  • File is moved, but error is shown
