Hi. I have same issue. I have found a work around. Right click the file or folder and choose "Properties". The file name will appear in the dialog box near the top. You can edit the name there and then hit "OK" and the file will be renamed. Oddly, the "Apply" button will remain greyed out, but OK works. Still, very annoying.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro on both ends and am logged in as an Administrator. Note, right clicking and hitting Rename does NOT work (nor does hitting F2 as noted by OP). When you do these things, nothing happens at all. Only using the Properties Box seems to work (or opening and resaving the file with a new name). Note, I CAN right click and delete the file, so this does not appear to be a matter of ownership or read-only status.
Hope this helps. -John
Thanks for that simple solution!
