    Windows 10 creating folders on another drive.


    Hey all so i have just been looking at my drives and noticed three folders that seem to of been created by windows on another of my drives, i did not say it could do this and now i can not delete them no i have not tried to restart yet as i am currently using the computer.


    What i would like to know is why has Windows 10 done this without my permission.
    The folders in question are:

    Program Files
    WindowsApps

    WpSystem


    They have only appeared today to my knowledge and when i try and delete i get.

    You need permission to perform this action


    You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder.

    What is odd is the date modified dates
    08/12/2019

    28/08/2020

    13/12/2019

    Anyone know how i can delete them and also why windows has done this? Its bad enough windows installs a load of **** i do not want but now its creating files and folders on other drives?!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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.
