Yesterday, I installed Windows 10 Preview Build 14379. I had a few problems with my applications that I was running, so I rolled back to Build 14372 from Settings > Update and Security > Recovery.
However, I have noticed that my system folder is no longer named "Windows", but "WINDOWS" in all caps. I cannot rename it. I would like to rename it to just "Windows" Is that possible?
I have attached a screenshot of the structure of C:\
Option 1: Get into Recovery options Command Prompt and rename the Windows directory by running ren D:\WINDOWS Windows. (Ref: Booting into Windows RE)
Note that the Windows installation drive would be different when seen from WinRE. If Windows is installed in C:\ then it would appear as D:\ when in WinRE.
Option 2:
Open Notepad (as Administrator), copy the following lines:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=Windows
Save the file in "C:\Windows" directory, as desktop.ini
Then from an Admin Command Prompt run:
attrib +r C:\Windows
That should do it!
On Windows, due to filesystems being case insensitive, renaming a file by just changing uppercases to lowercases is seen as a no-op. You need to change something more using a first rename and rename again to your wanted name.
