Creating folder in W7 says cannot find item and works on retry.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but really don't know where else to place it.
For some weeks (probably even longer) I am experiencing a really annoying issue. Whenever I create a new folder on one of my HDD's, SSD or partition it says "Cannot find item. This is no longer located in ... Verify the item's location and try again."
When I click retry it always works. At first I thought it was just one of my harddisks who was getting old, however it also happens on any partition on the SSD.
This only happens when I create folders. It doesn't happen when I create a new file (for example .txt document). At first I wasn't really annoyed, however I am now copying stuff from on partition to another and, well you can guess it, it complains about it on every folder it creates (for copying the files).
I have no clue what's wrong here. I doubt it's a hardware error. The Windows logfiles don't mention this. And, as I said above, there are no issues when I click retry. So in short; it asks every time to try again when I create a (new) folder.
I have experienced tons of weird stuff in my 28 year Windows experience, however this one is one of the strangest I have encountered. :|
Any ideas or solutions on how to fix this, other than reinstalling. Like I said before; it's nothing serious, but just something annoying.
Using Windows 7 with all latest mumbo jumbo and I always keep my computer clean by running defrags (only on HDD's), running CCleaner, run once a month Combofix and Anti-Malware weekly. Also running the latest drivers for everything or where possible. UAC is completely disabled (hate it) and running free Bitdefender (but this isn't the problem).
I will reinstall Windows, when Windows 10 comes out of testing, however that will take a "few" weeks.
If I forgot to mention something, please ask. I really want to solve this annoying issue.
