No "Create new folder" option for a specific folder within Videos

Interesting, I don't even get New in the first context menu drop down for any folder created under Videos. This is on Windows 10, so there is something going on there (7, 8 and 10) that Microsoft thinks is important or useful.

NTFS permission issue perhaps, did you check the permissions? Or some security software messing with a generic name as "temp".

Agreed.

I just tried it on my W7:

1. Navigated to the Videos folder
2. Created a folder called temp
3. Inside temp I created a new folder (using the default name New Folder)

I can see both folders in Windows Explorer.

Note:
I have changed the location of my Video folder (using the Location tab in the Properties window).
It has its own partition.

I don't have any 3rd party anti-virus or security software. (I assume the windows inbuilt one is there). What specific permissions do I check for?

That is scary. You are only using Windows Defender on Windows 7?

Anyway, this is what the permissions look like:

haha. There's nothing scary about it if you know how things work and what you're doing. (doesn't mean I know everything). So let's not go down that route (no problem with viruses/malware/spyware for the past 10 years).

This is what my permissions look like:
