Can't move icons on desktop into a folder on the same desktop [Windows 10]

[TimvBerghem]

Hi,

I just build a new pc and freshly installed Windows 10 Pro. But now I am stuck with a weird bug.

As I am unable to move a desktop icon into a folder (even newly created ones). Whenever I try to do this, the screen freezes for about 1 second, then it "blinks" and the icon is still at its original spot. I can move the icons around and sort them differently. I just can't put them in a folder.


I am worried that this might have more ramifications in the future and I want to get ahead of it with a fix hopefully.


I have already tried the following things;

1. Test the mouse or touchpad
2. Uncheck Auto arrange icons
3. Uninstall any desktop organizer software
4. Reset Folder Options
5. Change Display Resolution
6. Set scaling size for text, apps, etc
7. Change desktop icon size
8. Change icon spacing using Registry
9. Turn off Allow themes to change desktop icons
10. Update Graphics Driver.
