Windows 10: Can't Pin Downloads Folder to QuickAccess

Hello, I accidentally moved my downloads folder to D: and had to move it back to its original location. I updated the file location in the registry and then also had to unmark the "unhide" option from properties by going into CMD. It shows up now. However, now that I'm trying to pin the downloads folder to quick access where it usually was I accidentally deleted it while panicking, nothing happens when I right-click and press "pin to quick access". Every other folder is able to get pinned. Is there anything else I should do?I tried going into cmd and typing %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

:)

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.
