Hi Baa,

Open Control Panel - User Accounts

That's It!

 

how to change the account name of a Windows 10 local account?

Have set up my Windows 10 laptop for signing in with a local account, rather than a Microsoft account. I now want to change the name that I have chosen for the local account. Can't seem to find how to do that - any answers?

 

Where are you creating this folder?

 

It does not matter, in Documents, Desktop or any Library

 

there is no trick to it ,works the same as it always has,,

 

Well it does not for me.

 

so you/we now need to find a fix for your issue ..
I would start with system file checker to see if it will repair you windows ,


open ,admin command prompt , right click on the windows icon for the prompt ,,and type in ,, sfc /scannow ,and let it run to see if helps

 

I will but this is what I get when I try to rename it

 

When you create a new folder it should be selected for editing automatically. If you leave it, it will name it "New Folder". To change it at that point, you should be able to single left-click on it to get it back into Edit mode. What's happening when you left-click on it? Maybe try a different mouse.

 

A new mouse does not help. I also cannot move/copy a file either. I have to copy and paste it.

 

I also have a similar problem. It looks like a File Explorer problem. Other explorers work well (Total Commander, XYplorer, etc)

 

Well, I fixed it . I have no idea how. I removed a program that was call 7Stacks which was not compatible and I also changed a bunch of other stuff back to default.

Thanks for all of your suggestions!

 

great,good luck in the future

 

your welcome
