Win 10 21H2.Inspiron 3670.Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60. GHz.8.00 GB (7.82 GB usable). 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.
I can not create a new folder by right clicking on the desktop. Also the Control. Shift + N doesn't work either. Any ideas?
Win 10 new folder.

Re: Win 10 new folder.
I'll assume that you've rebooted the system since first running into this issue.. Correct?

Re: Win 10 new folder.
Try creating a new folder using File Explorer.
Try creating a new folder using Command Prompt. (see help mkdir)
Desktop pathes:
* C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop
* C:\Users\Public\Desktop
Is there an error message when attempting to create a new folder?

Re: Win 10 new folder.
What does happen when you try?I can not create a new folder by right clicking on the desktop.
Are you able to right-click -> New -> Folder, elsewhere?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Nothing happens when I right click on the desktop.There are no options for a new folder. Really frustrating.therube wrote:What does happen when you try?I can not create a new folder by right clicking on the desktop.

bgreenage,
I did a search on "create new folder windows 10 error", and it brings up many possibilities to explore; you might want to look at this page in particular " https://windowsreport.com/fix-cannot-cr ... indows-10/ ", especially the manual edit of the registry fix.
