  1. Cannot reorder "Desktop" in Quick Access


    I have a brand new PC with Windows 10 pro (17763).


    I can pin Desktop to Quick Access but I cannot drag and drop it to reorder it.

    I can drag and drop every other items in the list one by one (Documents, Downloads and some folders) to move Desktop all the way to the top.

    After a while, Desktop would move all the way to the bottom, by itself.

    Anyone experienced the same thing?

    :)

  2. Can no longer reorder Quick Access folders in list

    Not working for me. Here's the strange thing: I can reorder the Windows-default Quick Access items (Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures), but I CANNOT reorder folders that I have pinned to Quick Access

  3. Can no longer reorder Quick Access folders in list

    I want to say THANK YOU to PaulTurvill. I had been unable to reorder the Quick Access List, and this problem was significantly hindering my work. However, Paul's explanation was excellent. It solved the problem!

  4. Cannot reorder "Desktop" in Quick Access

    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.
