Can't create a new folder with any method.  Tried restoring to any earlier date.

I assume your windows disk has at least %5 free space and you are not attempting to create a folder or file in protected area

 

You probably have a corrupted registry.  Add a new user to your PC and give the user admin privilege.  Then log out and log into the new account and see if the problem goes away.  https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cannot-create-new-file-in-windows-10/0e4634f2-...

 

If you still have a problem then try the following
