Win 7 to Win 10 upgrade, all files Unknown+User and Unknown+Group

I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 and I am not able to run a tar command on my files. Everything was working as it should before that. I will add that I am working on backup files and if something goes wrong I can lose like a year and a half of full day / week work. The name of my user is 01 and all

Unusual file named .62030.jpg.3bqiFX

I was making a backup of my website files to Windows 7 with Cygwin (from a LAMP server, regular PHP script) and in the process something has created a file like this: .62030.jpg.3bqiFX In the folder where it appeared, there is a nother original file named 62030.jpg, which is an image file. So som
