  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.

    "Create Shortcut" to a folder on a USB drive not working

    Figured it out, and I have to admit it's (more than) a little embarrassing.

    It turns out the generated shortcuts were being deposited elsewhere in the explorer folder window, out of sight.

    The folder contents are sorted by Name, alphabetically, but with node type as a primary key, with folders at the top, using the List view. I have hundreds of folders in this folders, so I'm instigating this creation of a shortcut *of* a folder among a sea
    of folders in my list.

    What was happening is that the Shortcut *was* being created, but deposited for viewing among the files, out of my sight. I accidentally tripped over scads of created shortcuts when I was scrolling along!

    Since I normally create shortcuts of files (not folders), the new shortcut is usually deposited right alongside the target file. I expected this behavior when creating a shortcut for a folder, but it was a mistaken expectation.

    Problem "solved"; a dumb User error fixed by a slightly smarter User.

    Sorry for the red herring.

    Can not create folder using shortcut

    Is there a way to create a folder shortcut?

    Hi oofie

    As i know that is not possible to do a shortcut to a folder but you can do the following:

    - make shortcut to important applications to your standby

    - move the "apps folder " you created to the middle of the phone Menu so it will be just 2 steps to get in it

    I hope that helps , and please let me know Can not create folder using shortcut :)
