When I need to create a new folder, I click or tap on the New Folder icon, then start typing in the name field to replace the name "New Folder" with the name I want. I'm usually competent using a keyboard, but for some reason I almost always goof up when I'm trying to type in the folder name, or just prior to that by inadvertently creating extra folders. I usually end up with at least one extra "New Folder" but today was the worst. I needed to name the folder "Rainbow 2022-11-28", and I ended up with:Rainbow2022-11-22If I could have a separate dialog box appear, and require a confirmation

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.

Thanks, the step you mentioned

• Creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut.

It's working for me. But my new folder option is not working anywhere not in desktop as well as not in file explorer. Whenever I am placing my cursor on new folder option, its first spinning for few seconds then goes to close the file
explorer and refresh the desktop once.
