  1. Creating New Folder is SLOW


    Hello,

    This is a SOLUTION which I didn't find ANYWHERE and it was so simple I don't know why it wasn't. I'm not sure where this should go as I don't use this forum much but I thought I should share this as I have been frustrated for MONTHS trying to find a cure to this absurdly annoying problem with what appears to have been an ABSURDLY simple fix.


    For a few months when I try and create a new folder the option just "hangs". I can still move my mouse, interact with other items, open files and folders, etc., etc. The only thing that happens is that when I move over the new folder option it just sits there for about 20 seconds or so and then eventually offers the sub-menu options.


    I have run the DISM.exe Restorehealth tool. I've run the scf /scannow tool. Neither found any errors.

    I've tried running a clean boot and a safe boot but the problem still persisted.


    I've tried restarting the File Explorer. That didn't fix it.

    Then I read about Clearing File Explorer History.

    The steps involved opening File Explorer, clicking on the View tab, then the Options button, and under the general tab unchecking the two boxes in the Privacy section and then clicking on Clear File Explorer history, then apply and then OK.

    I did this and NOPE still no fix.

    Then PURELY by accident I opened File Explore again to try clearing the history again and instead I decided to click on Restore Defaults in the same window as the clear history option. AND BINGO IT WORKS NOW!

    I suspect that's all I needed to do way back months ago. I can't believe in all the reading I did and even in the phone call with tech help people NO ONE suggested this.

    If you're having the same issues I have just try "Restore Defaults".

    Just thought I'd share my "luck" with you folks who are struggling. I hope this fixes it. Tech help might want to START here LOL.

    Jay

  2. creating new folder problem in windows 10 creator

    Hi Gudiya,

    The problem you've encountered in creating a folder could be caused by software or program conflict as the issue appeared a few days after installing the Windows 10 Creators update. For us to know if this only occurs when creating a new folder from the desktop,
    we suggest that you try creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut or from File Explorer. Please refer to the steps below:

    Creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut.

    • Click on the desktop.
    • Press CTRL + SHIFT + N.
    • A new folder should be created.

    Creating a new folder from File Explorer.

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Hover your mouse on the location where you want to create a new folder.
    • Right-click it, go to New > Folder.

    In case the problem persists, then we suggest that you go ahead and perform a clean boot. Doing so will start your computer using minimal drivers to help us determine what conflict is causing the problem. Check out
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows for the detailed steps.

    Let us know the result so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

    creating new folder problem in windows 10 creator

    Thanks, the step you mentioned

    Click on the desktop.
    • Press CTRL + SHIFT + N.
    • A new folder should be created.
    • Creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut.

    It's working for me. But my new folder option is not working anywhere not in desktop as well as not in file explorer. Whenever I am placing my cursor on new folder option, its first spinning for few seconds then goes to close the file
    explorer and refresh the desktop once.

    • Press Windows key and type "file explorer" to open File Explorer.
    • Click Desktop.
    • Under the Home tab, select the New folder option.
    • Create a name for your folder.
