Windows 10: How can I get quick access to be at the top of the left pane in the explorer windows by...

Hi. I have the problem discussed here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-file-explorer-left-folder-window-keeps/562a9fec-f0ae-46e2-9cca-f2369cb3ea30When I open my explorer windows, it puts OneDrive and This PC up at the top of the left pane. I want it to have Quick Access up top instead. To get QA, I have to scroll that left pane up. I followed the instructions in that post, but when I went to folder options quick access was already the selected option in the dropdown.So what does one do in this situation then?

How to remove "Quick Access" from the File Explorer left side navigation pane in Windows 10 (64bit)

A user in the house would like to completely remove "Quick Access" from the left side navigation panel in File Explorer.

They are running the 64 bit version of Windows 10 Pro.

I have done the steps of "View", "Options", "Open File Explorer to This PC" and clearing the check marks under privacy and clearing the file history.

Quick Access still appears on the left side navigation panel.

Is there an administrator or other setting that I can use to have "Quick Access" not appear at all in the left side navigation pane?

Thanks.

Remove Quick access from Navigation Pane in Windows 10  


I followed the steps in the this tutorial and was able to remove the Quick Access feature from the navigation pane of Windows Explorer - thanks for this.

However, the Quick Access feature can still be seen in the navigation pane of the save dialog explorer when trying to save a file from a web browser, for example. Do you have any tips on how to remove the Quick Access feature from this location as well?
