The issue should be caused by damaged or incorrect registry key entry. Please check the following registry value:
1. Click Start, type regedit in Search Bar, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\
3. Please check if the value for (Default) is: {D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719}
If the issue persists after changing the registry key value, please continue to try the following suggestions:
1. Click Start, type regedit in Search Bar, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder
3. Right click on the Folder key on the left pane, and then select "Export" to backup this registry key.

Well this worked for me and not sure when it fixed it but here it is. I copied an existing folder that I had already created and pasted it into another folder that I had already created that is on my desktop. I then emptied all of the contents that was in the folder that I had pasted into another folder and then renamed it New Folder. I then dragged it on to my desktop. Copied and pasted it again on my desktop, New Folder copy 1, etc. Right clicked on desktop, new and there was the option to create a new folder again. Hope this works for you. ME!!
