Cant create new folder in window 8.1 deepit

I'm here to help you with that!

There could be several reasons why you're unable to create a new folder in Windows 8.1. Let's troubleshoot together:

  1. Check if you have the necessary permissions: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to create a new folder. Right-click on the folder where you want to create a new folder and select "Properties". In the Properties window, click on the "Security" tab. Ensure that your user account has the "Create folders" permission.
  2. Check for disk space: Ensure that the disk where you're trying to create the folder has enough free space. You can check the available disk space by going to File Explorer, right-clicking on the disk, and selecting "Properties".
  3. Check for file system errors: Sometimes, file system errors can prevent you from creating new folders. Run the built-in Check Disk (chkdsk) utility to scan and fix any errors:
    • Press the Windows key + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)".
    • Type chkdsk C: (replace C: with the drive letter where you're trying to create the folder) and press Enter.
  4. Check for corrupted system files: Corrupted system files can also cause issues. Run the System File Checker (SFC) tool to scan and replace any corrupted files:
    • Press the Windows key + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)".
    • Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
  5. Check for malware: Malware can also prevent you from creating new folders. Run a full scan with your antivirus software to detect and remove any malware.
  6. Try creating a folder in a different location: If you're unable to create a folder in the current location, try creating one in a different location, such as the desktop or documents folder.
  7. Check for Windows updates: Ensure that your Windows 8.1 installation is up-to-date. Sometimes, updates can resolve issues like this.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about the error message you're seeing or any other symptoms you're experiencing. I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the problem!
