Changing the folder view to Details and clicking in white space also works.
Windows 8/8.1 Explorer hangs when renaming a file through MTP
Hi,
I've been itching to talk about this problem for a long time, But was waiting for a solution to come up through windows updates. I was having this issue since i had Windows 8 64 bit. I would connect my Lumia using a USB cable and copying back and forth are fine, Moving too is OK, But cannot rename a single file or folder whatsoever. Another problem with Windows Explorer makes it hang every time i open a folder with executables (.exe). It just freezes till all the thumbnails are generated for the exe's and believe me, it takes some time. This issue too started with Windows 8.
I am using Windows for 6 years now. Started with WinXP Pro x86, Win7 x64, Win8 x64, and now Win8.1 x64.
And now is the first time i am in such a rage like this.
I Update my PC daily.
Attaching screenshots and system information.
Renaming files in SD Card
Renaming files in Phone Memory
Opening a folder with Executables. I would have to wait till all those blank icons turn to proper thumbnails.
I tried my friend's LG optimus phone. Same results. I went on the web and found these

Those i can understand... maybe a miscommunication between android and Windows. But Windows Phone and Windows? Are you kidding me?
They say these share 33% code or something... isn't that supposed to help them work along better?
I don't know, but i think they need to.
I mean, i can't even use a Wireless LAN network with my Windows Phone and Windows, but an android phone can,
I don't have remote desktop access from my Windows Phone to Windows, but android has,
I don't have home group functionality, no inherent way to sync files
(Yes i have the Windows Phone app, isn't much of a thing, every other manufacturer has an alternative. I am talking about core integration)
Thats another case. atleast i would like my Phone to run along with my PC.
PS: I previously joined in a conversation about facebook not syncing on my phone. Its been a few days and i still have nothing. The problem persists even after 2 weeks now. I use a Nokia Lumia 620.
