    How to expand "thumbtacked" items in Windows Explorer


    I can't get the items under "Home" to expand in the navigation pane. They show a thumbtack on the right but there is no ">" to expand them. I have made sure the "Expand to Current Folder" is checked. I have disabled OneDrive after upgrading to Windows 11 but don't know if that's the problem. How can I make these expand and not just show in the detail pane when clicked?

    :)

    How do I expand the 'Recent' list in the File Explorer?

    I've pinned my File Explorer to my taskbar and I have a lot of quick-access links pinned to it.

    Because of that, I only get one item of my recently opened folders and files.
    Is there a way to expand the list of the recent files in that taskbar File Explorer?
