Can't create New Folder

[wonderlust]

Hello,

I recently discovered that I cant create new folder. There is no such option in the context menu. I tried all the fixes on the internet with the registry but that didnt help. In stead of a new icon I have 2 shortcut options as you can see in the attached screen. When i click Ctrl + Shift + N it creates New shortcutFolder file.  that is basically a shortcut.

Is that the only weird thing that you see in your PC ? ex. Slowdowns, unrensponsivness, crashes etc etc

[wonderlust]

Nope, there arent any other signs. Virus free! Поздрави

Sounds like a user profile issue. Have you checked your hard disk is OK? (use crystaldiskinfo) then run an sfc /scannow command to check system files.

 

If all OK, try to make a new user profile and test if that one works.

Both my disks are perfect, made a sfc scan and didnt help, and tried the new user that also didnt help. The New in the context menu stayed the same ;(

Try an image repair. In elevated cmd prompt type

 

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

 

Presumably you are admin on that machine.

This should help.

 

One problem = one solution. No need to repair everything if there is one small problem.

Already tried that I found different types of fixes with registry but didnt help. There are ready .reg files for all the "New" menu but neither do help

Try first jump into that registry section first and see if something is wrong (double entries etc.).

Everything seems fine  I guess i need a fresh re-install.... 

[homeap5]

@wonderlust: Wait a moment.

It's not a good reason to reinstall whole system.

 

I created 3 reg files for you:

http://www.files.xs.com.pl/registry.zip

 

Try to run them / insert into registry and restart computer.

They're from my win10 and they are related to that original registry key. If something was wrong - it should fix it.

Win10 64bit of course.

Ok sorry for taking so long but i dont have that folder in the first reg

[homeap5]

@wonderlust: So create it. Or use reg1.reg from my previous post. And do not forget that sometimes you must restart or at least logoff/login for changes.

Looks the same for me. I'm using different registry editor - that's why you don't see that "InProcServer32" in right pane. But you see it in left pane - and that's all you need. Look inside and compare to second png. If it's the same then I cannot help you right now (I must go for some time). But for sure there is better way to fix that without reinstalling Windows.

Last I found: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-restore-missing-new-menuitem-in-desktop-and-explorer-context-menu/

 

But from this point I have no idea what to do next. This link gives some more information and a little better registry fix.

I thought that I fixed it but after clicking New Folder it still made a shortcut even though the button was with a folder icon and name. After a 4 hours searching on the internet, looking at every single page and trying some shady russian programs I found THIS !

Really big registry entry (lot of entries in fact). Good, keep it for the future in some directory like "win fixes". It may be useful in the future.

Sorry that my method was not as good.
