There are some restrictions due to its security feature, that's why folder creation or rename functionality not works in Window.

Before that, let's see if a simpler solution will work.
1. Open a Windows Explorer window by clicking on a folder.
2. Click Organize.
3. Click Folder and Search Options.
4. Click View.
5. Under Advanced Settings, select Launch Folder Windows in a Separate Process.
6. Click OK.
