Remove Quick Access in File Explorer Win10

Hi Oldpcdawg, you can remove Quick Access from a lot of File Explorer, but not from the left hand Pane . . .

To get File Explorer acting like previous versions of File Explorer, follow these steps:

Open File Explorer

On the View Ribbon, click 'Options'

On the Resulting Dialog, at the top of the 'General' tab, set the 'Open Explorer to' dropdown to 'This PC'

At the bottom of that tab, in the Privacy section untick bot options and click the 'Clear' button

That's it, close Explorer and re-open it . ..

 

File Explorer/Quick Access

I recently started having a problem with File Explorer and Quick Access. When I start my computer, all works fine but then gradually the files as listed in File Explorer and Quick Access start to disappear and soon there are none present. I need to
restart and again they are there but also again they start to disappear. Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestion to correct? Thanks/
