Can't create New Folder in Windows 10 21H1

Description: I've been having this issue for some time now, but my New folder button is not creating new folders. And the option to create a new folder is missing from my desktop context menu. I've searched online for fixes.

• SFC /SCANNOW failed.
• Manually re adding the context menu option via registry failed [it wasn't even missing from registry].
• Uninstalling all system mods failed

Does anyone know what is causing this and how to actually fix it? I'm hoping I don't have to reinstall my OS because I just went through a fresh install not too long ago and don't want to lose all my games and software again.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro Build 19041.vb_release. 191206-1406 if it helps.


---Edit---


I found the fix! Finally!

I had to use these instructions:

1. Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press ENTER
2. Navigate to the following location:
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder
3. In the right-pane, double-click (default) and set its data to Folder
4. Exit the Registry Editor.
