Can't rename file or folder name in windows 7/8/10

Solution to fix the problem of renaming files/folders in Windows 10:

1. go to registry editor

2. Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions
From here, there are 5 items that you need to delete or rename.
The names are:
{2112AB0A-C86A-4ffe-A368-0DE96E47012E}
{491E922F-5643-4af4-A7EB-4E7A138D8174}

{A302545D-DEFF-464b-ABE8-61C8648D939B}
{A990AE9F-A03B-4e80-94BC-9912D7504104}

3. After renaming these folders reboot your PC and the issue should now be fixed.

Note:
You might need to perform this action after every windows update.
