Item Not Found After Windows Update

Win 7 Home Premium (x64), 4GB RAM


Every time I try to create rename or move a folder I get an - Item Not Found error message.  This item is no longer located in "C:\whatever the folder is".  Verify the folders location and try again., this is after  Win7(x64) updates.  Used system restore to go back before updates and everything worked fine.   Any suggestions? Reinstalling the updates, 8 in total, recreates the problem. 

When I click on the Try Again button everything goes through just fine.  

I right click to create a new folder,  then type in a name for the folder, then I press enter to complete and that is when the warning box comes up. I click on the Try Again button and it goes through as normal.  If I try to move a folder into another same problem.  Trying to rename a folder same results. Copying and deleting folders, the only two actions not affected.  And this only affects folders not other files like docs or programs.

I also like to point out that I already tried cleaning out the system using Ccleaner including the registry cleaner component and sfc /scannow, I scanned the memory and the hard drive

Hi,

 

What are the names of the updates (along with KB numbers) that cause this issue?

 

Method 1:

 

Perform a clean boot and install the update one at a time and check for the issue.
