Windows 10 1909 suddenly, cannot rename New Folders when i create them

Right-click > New > Folder

 

try to type a name in. hit ENTER. "The action can't be completed because the folder or file is open in another program."

 

HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE WHEN I JUST AM NOW CREATING IT?!?

 

What is MORE messed up is, if i open the Desktop folder in File Explorer, i can create folders and rename them all day. only when doing it directly on the Desktop is it an issue, and it never used to be...

 

FYI, my desktop is a network share, and i already tried deleting the share and reassigning it. when the desktop is local, i CAN create new folders and rename them, just not when the network folder is set as desktop folder. and i have full permissions on the folder. again, i can create folders and rename them in File Explorer, just not directly on the desktop.

 

I've already tried everything here:

 

Can't rename folders in Windows 10 [uLTIMATE GUIDE]

 

and none of it fixes the problem.

 

any ideas?
