For some reason something is preventing pcsx2 to delete the temporary file which is create while you are making a save state.
When you are F1 this happens
1.The backup save state is deleted
2.The save state on the current slot is renamed to the backup name
3.A new save state is create but while the save state is created(until it's done collecting data and saving)is using .tmp as extension
4.When the saving is done,the .tmp extension is removed and only .p2s is left(that's the save state extension)
For some reason pcsx2 can't delete/rename the tmp file(maybe your antivirus software is scanning the file and it's not allowing pcsx2 to do his job)and if pcsx2 is only looking for p2s files to create the backup,you will not be able to create the backup nor use the save state because it's left with an extension that pcsx2 is not looking for when you press F3

Reinstalling windows is too extreme.
Try turning off your antivirus or run pcsx2 as administrator first

How about change the permissions of the
folder , grant full permissions to all users , also make sure read only is not enabled.
