Windows 10: Can't pin Videos folder to quick access anymore?

Hello!I recently moved several of my folders Documents, Music, Photos & Videos to my other harddrive, since it has more space than the one those folders were originally on.I was able to re-pin all of those folders to Quick Access, except for the Videos one. When I try, it just never shows up. I've tried multiple times, and nothing's happened.If I right-click it, it doesn't do anything. If I try to move it to the Quick Access area, it doesn't do anything either.I've attached a .gif of what happens when I try to pin it to Quick Access. As you can see, nothing actually happens.I'm not exact

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.

 

Quick Access - "Location is not available"

I solved the problem without following steps 1, 2, and 3. The solution is stupidly simple and it doesn't make any difference as to whether the problem item in the Quick Access list is pinned or unpinned.

1. Create the folder in the same path where Quick Access reported it to be unlocatable. The folder will be empty.

2. Delete the folder you just created. The Quick Access item that WAS listed in Quick Access disappears!!

Note that #2 does not remove or delete the item from Quick Access. It deletes the empty folder you just created *from the machine* (i.e., it goes to the Recycle bin) and as a consequence of the deletion, it disappears from the Quick Access list.
