    Cannot create new folders in anyway other then through command prompt, changing registry...


    Exactly as title says. I cannot create a new folder the file explorer, cannot create a new folder with Ctrl Shift N, and the option isn't there on the windows right click menu. My version of windows isn't activated yet, so I am not sure if that is causing it or if I need to go for a restore. Are there any solutions which might work? Persists through restarts, and the only thing which has modified that right click menu was WinRAR.

    Posted this to techsupport, doing it here as well.

    How to backup and restore registry using only win10 iso command prompt

    In a link it suggested several registry troubleshooting steps for a Windows with black screen.

    For Windows 10 1909 how do you backup and restore one registry change using a windows 10 iso command prompt?

    If more than one registry entry is modified how do you backup and restore a second change?

    In addition to modifying one or two commands how do you backup and restore the whole registry when the only access is via a windows 10 iso command prompt?

    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.

    Cannot create new folders in anyway other then through command prompt, changing registry...

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
