I can't rename the file or folder in Windows 10 and I think its automatically refreshing. So how can I stop this?? 

Hi,

Which file or folder did you want to rename? Any error message or symptom appear when you attempt to rename it?

Meanwhile, make sure these file are not in use and you have the sufficient permission to control these files.

Hi Karen Hu,

Thanks for your reply.

Please note its normal fie and folders in D drives. 

Ok I am explain breifely for your understanding.

While rename the file or foldder and automatically refreshed and cane out of the edit mode. Approximately I can't edit more than 5 seconds.

So I need to edit with in 2-3 seconds and need to enter key to save the changes.

Otherise it will automaticlly refreshed and the name will be same as old.

I facing this problem from Yesterday only after upgraded Windows 10.

So kindly check and advise how can I fix this issue.

I am having the same issue.

Also when scrolling through picture thumbnails, it keeps resetting back to the top. This means I have to scroll back down to where I was every 3-7 seconds.

Thoughts on a fix?

Thanks,

Drake

I too have exactly the same issues.  Help!

How do you fix this?

Thanks

I finally learned how to rename a folder in Windows 10:  Place cursor on folder.  RIGHT Click.  Look at options, and you'll see (hopefully) "rename." (It's near the bottom on my display.) Then just write over the old name, as with previous versions.

This doesn't work for me.  It just goes back to the original name when I exit the box.  :-(

The Marked Answer is wrong.  they're not getting the problem.  That functionality everyone knows about since Windows 95.  The problem that needs an answer is this:  Right-click on the folder name, CHANGE THE NAME, hit enter and BOOM:  Rename Folder>Can't Find the Specified Folder > Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.  Guess this is a bug to be fixed.

Use the command box to rename:  cd to your folder/file  then RENAME "filename" "changetothis"

This is a work around but not an answer to the "bug" introduced into the system. My users should not need to command line to do a simple function that is supposed to be available in explorer. I'm linking another post from this forum as it has the same profile/problem. The answer there was to "Roll Back" also just a work around to the real problem.  How about a real fix as these are only "band aids".
