I've tried doing this:
Use Command Prompt to create a directory
Several users reported that they managed to fix the problem simply by using Command Prompt to create a new folder on their PC.
According to users, they created a directory on their PC using the Command Prompt and the issue was completely resolved. To create a directory using the Command Prompt, you need to do the following:
This did create a new folder in the C drive, but it then made the 'new' tab in the context menu become empty.

I've then tried these options from this board that other previous users had the same problem with, under this topic:

According to users, they created a directory on their PC using the Command Prompt and the issue was completely resolved. To create a directory using the Command Prompt, you need to do the following:
- Press Windows Key + X to open Win + X menu. Now choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the list. If the Command Prompt isn’t available, you can also use PowerShell (Admin).
- When Command Prompt starts, enter cd / to navigate to the root directory.
- Now enter mkdir FolderName in order to create a new directory. By doing that you’ll create a new folder on your C drive.
This did create a new folder in the C drive, but it then made the 'new' tab in the context menu become empty.
