I can't make a new folder via context menu, or explorer>new. The option is missing. already doing search with following results (not working): HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder ctrl+shift+n it's just annoying, not worth doing clean install. For the moment i just create a zip file and extract it as folder. also cmd mkdir is working. also might worth mentioning, the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\folder is being typed as "folder" not "Folder". Tried to change it to "Folder" but it throws error that ".....already exists", but can't find another "Folder" on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. anybody got an idea?
If sfc /scannow or/and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth cannot restore/repair your damaged Windows, sooner or later you will have to do a new installation one way or another. The sooner you do this, the more likely it is that you will be able to keep your files and apps. Later it may happen that you will only be able to keep your files and everything else will have to be reinstalled as well again. But the cause of this problem is simple - you just have a damaged registry and the easiest thing is to take a backup of your registry and restore the original registry.
That was to be expected. If DISM also doesn't work, you can try in place Reset/Reinstall, but I'd recommend backing up your files first, because it also might not work or else you might lose your files.You probably don't have (and won't have) any other options, of course, if you don't have a complete Backup image.
i understand your concern, but reset is a kinda thing when it's unusable for me as i said earlier, it's just annoying, and i have some cheap tricks to tackle it, everything else is working fine any ideas beside reset is appriciated, no rush, do it in your free time thanks
Is there such a thing (it's the same for both Win10 and Win11) And is this field correct? It must be {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719} (if needed look aslso picture bellow) Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New] @="{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}"
