Creating a new folder in bookmarks is automatically saved as "new folder". No way to change it except going to Properties tab.

I just updated to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro. When I do a create new folder in my bookmarks I cannot name it. It stays as New Folder where I created it. I can only change it by going back to location in Bookmarks and then I right click on the New Folder and can only change the name by going into Properties and typing over the New Folder name.

Are you possibly using Sync to sync the bookmarks ?

In the past we got reports that Sync is causing this issue.

You are right. The Sync was on. I turned it off and can now create new folders and name them as I normally could. I do not know why the Sync was on as I do not use this feature.

Thank you for your help.
