Windows 10: Behavior of quick access in Windows 10

[COLOR=rgba51, 51, 51, 1]A few questions on Quick Access:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba51, 51, 51, 1]

1. 
   How exactly does Windows decide to put recently used folders in Quick Access? Sometimes it seems like I access a folder many times and it doesn't get added, while other times it seems like I access a folder once and then it does get added? Are there specifications for how Windows decides?
   
   
2. 
   Does Windows ever decide to remove a folder from Quick Access? There are times where I frequently access a folder during a project, and Windows rightly so will add the folder to Quick Access. When the project is done I'll stop accessing the folder but Windows never decides to remove the folder from Quick Access.
   
   
3. 
   Are there ways to tweak how Windows behavior for when to add and when to remove? I know I can disable -- but I'd like to enable, but then tweak it to be a little more judicious in adding folders, and less judicious on removing or rather, actually have it remove.

Quick Access bar

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

Remove items from Quick access.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Right click on the file or folder.
• Select the option “unpin from the quick access”

To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

Follow the below steps.

I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

• Open the quick access.
• Select the Desktop option.
• Right click on the folder & select the option “pin to quick access”

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.



Thank you.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
