Windows 10: Folder missing from Quick Access menu?

As of yesterday, my 'Pictures' folder no longer shows up on my Quick Access menu. I can pin/unpin other folders with no issue, but I can't pin that particular folder. I've tried pinning it from the side bar menu via right click on Pictures, I've tried going to that folder and trying to add via right click on Quick access. I've tried going into the Quick access options and resetting folders. My Pictures folder hasn't been moved, it's right were it's always been.

I've tried looking online to see if there's an answer, but I haven't seen anything that has worked for me. Since I use my Pictures folder for all my art projects, I'd really like to get it back up there. Does anyone know how to get this fixed?


Thanks~

Quick Access bar

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

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.
