@PDR_14597 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are unable to create the folder on the Windows 10 desktop.

Let's try these steps

- Open Windows Defender Security Center 
- Click Virus & threat protection 
- Click Virus & threat protection settings 
- Scroll down to Controlled folder access 
- Toggle it off 

Next, in Windows Defender Security Center 

- Open App & browser control 
- Set 'Check apps & files' to off

If the issue persists run the SFC Scan

System File Checker is a utility in Windows 10 that checks for problems with files on your computer

• Make sure you've installed the latest updates for Windows 10, and then restart your machine.
• In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.
• Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)
• After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.
• After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.
