  2. Unable to create a new folder or rename a folder

    Hi Edver,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I'll certainly help you with this.

    I would like to let you know that you may not be able to rename or add a new folder from Quick access. It will allow you to open the folders that are frequently used, recently viewed files or the files/folders that are added to
    Quick access.

    If you are unable to create or rename files/folders in other folders as well, then I would suggest you to run a SFC scan.

    System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin)
      to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc /scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.

    Hope this will help you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    In this situation, it says "File does not exist." I'm Muhammad Bilal, I will help you.

    Step 1. Press Windows+R key to open run and type regedit.exe.

    Step 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE and in menu, Select new>New Key.

    Step 3. Rename into FOLDER and in FOLDER, Select Binary Value and Rename it to StopFolderErrorCode.

    Step 4. Click on Binary Value and write 2 and 5, It becomes %, that means 25%.

    Step 5. Now go to your Folder>Properties>Security and select Edit.

    Step 6. And access all the security.

    Where did you find this? I can find no reference anywhere to a "StopFolderErrorCode" value. Google returns zero results.
