Windows 10: I can't create new file

So while I right click, it did not show New like normally, which was weird. I really want to create folders to organize my work, but I can't.

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.

 

Windows hanging when creating new files

Hi all,

I am having an issue where Windows 10 keeps hanging when I mouse over "New" either in desktop or Files Explorer to create new files.

Here are two gifs showing my issue:

I have tried:

• Going to command prompt and using the "sfc /scannow" command (no issues found using this)
  
• Used the Windows tool to reinstall Windows without affecting my files
  
• Made sure Windows & drivers are up to date
  
• Performing a clean boot following these steps
  
• EDIT: Tried using ShellExView -> 3 files found that I diabled, but issue still here
  
• 
  

Can anyone suggest any troubleshooting steps, preferably without having to do a full/clean re-installation of Windows?

Thanks in advance.
