Windows 10: Windows choice folder template chaotic

When I create a new folder on desktop or elsewhere (no files in it yet) it chooses as template "video" or sometimes "music" but not "general items".
When I copy nested folders with files, which all have the template "general items", to a new location all these folders get the template "music".
Changing the template does not give problems. But I am wondering the choices Windows makes.

Any Way To Work Around Two Bugs In Creators Update (Which Were Also In Anniversary Update)?

I don't know if this is relevant as I've never tried it, if it isn't ignore it as I just thought I'd have a quick search for folder templates.

Windows background folder keeps resetting to "pictures" instead of the folder I selected for the slideshow

I'm having the same issue. Tried the following as a solution.

After resetting/choosing your background folder choice.

Open 'gpedit.msc' as Administrator.

Go to Administrative Template | Control Panel | Personalization

Double click on 'Prevent changing desktop Background' and enable it.

 

Although not yet full-proof, a considerable improvement was reached with unchecking in File Explorer Options: Lauch folder windows in a separate process. I can now live with it.
