    Can't Drag Links from the Address Bar to Quick Links


    Microsoft continues to try and be the worst OS, year after year.I know we won't go back to the glory days of Windows 7, M/S grew tired of trying to innovate and make a great operating system and instead tried to please as many people possible with.. what we've had since Vista.Anyway, it's maddening I can't do something simple and user-friendly like drag something from somewhere to somewhere else so it's convenient for me to find it when I need to. It's maddening that M/S tries to tell ME how I should use THEIR operating system. It's maddening that every update just brings more annoyance and fr

  2. 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 intermittently fails to link with website

    Using Windows 10, 3 browsers Fx, Edge and Chrome will not open links intermittently, possibly 1 third of the time. An empty browser window appears with an empty address slot.

    However, selecting the link “Here” (for example), and dragging the word "Here" or even an entire title link up to the address bar opens the site as it should. The fact that this occurs with 3 browsers suggests a Windows problem, not a browser problem.
    Any advice on stopping this behavior will be greatly appreciated.

    Can't Drag Links from the Address Bar to Quick Links

    Delete File Link


    All I want to do is remove a non working link from the quick access list. It will not unpin, and the options I have tried in the tutorial wont delete it. When clicked it shows the original error, if I drag the file to the list again, both links work, but if I unpin that one I am back to square one. This is only applicable to one link, the others are fine, and it has only happened since the AU.
    I would be happy to clear the whole list and start again, but the one link persists.
