I/O Operation Has Been Aborted Because Of Either A Thread Exit Or… 0x800703E3

[Webmaster]

When trying to copy a file or folder, you get this error:

An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the folder. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

Error 0x800703E3: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

Error 0x800703E3 happens when you are trying to copy a file over a connection that can’t handle the load or is intermittent AND you are doing so using a protocol that can’t handle interruptions. In my case, I was trying to copy a large file over an internet connection using SMB through an RDP connection.

To fix error 0x800703E3, use a more reliable connection or a more appropriate protocol. In my case, I set up an FTP server and copied the file through FTP.
