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.

 

Why does MS replace the files I have pinned in Quick Access?

Running Windows 10, Version 1909, build 18363.752.

There was not enough room in the title to complete my question, so here goes. File Explorer opens to Quick Access and This PC. I have several files I use often pinned to Quick Access and the list of Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc. under This PC. That's the way I like and want it.

However, every time there is a cumulative update File Explorer then opens to Quick Access pinned with Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.-yes, the same files as under This PC-rather than the files I had originally pinned. I don't need/want those files twice, so I unpin all of them and re-pin the files I want in Quick Access until the next cumulative update.

It sure would be nice if I didn't have to do that. Maybe some setting to change or turn off, or a registry hack.

Any ideas or suggestions? TIA

 

Quick access - files and folders dropping from Quick access

After poking around for some time I have still not been able to resolve this issue. I reset folders, settings etc. I rebuilt my "Quick Access" list after trying a few of these solutions. It appeared to be working but overnight (with no activity on my computer, as far as I know) my Quick Access list reset to the default of just Desktop, Downloads, Documents and Pictures. There are recent folders listed also.

Recall I already reloaded the system once. I'd rather not do that again.

Any other suggestions or pointers?

Thanks.
