Quick Access order changes

Quick Access is dynamic and will change as you visit (or revisit) folders. You have to pin them to make them fixed in place.

The easiest way to do this is in the Quick Access list in the navigation pane on the left. If you don't see a navigation pane, you can turn it on from the 'View' tab. Just click & drag the folders you want into the order you want. Click & drag automatically pins them for you - a little grey 'pin' appears next to the name to show this. If you make a mistake, you can unpin a folder by right-clicking on it.

 

Quick Access order changes

I'm not sure if this will stop them from changing order, as I never see my Quick Access list change after doing this, but have you disabled both options in the Privacy section of Folder Options? Click "View" at the top of the File Explorer, and click on the "Options" box all the way to the top right of the screen. Folder Options will appear. On the current tab, "General", there should be a section at the bottom with two Quick Access history related functions. Disable them both.

I created 3 new folders and pinned them to Quick Access, and after opening the 2nd and 3rd folder numerous times without opening the 1st folder, none of them changed and remained in the order of when I added them to Quick Access or how I rearranged them. Once again, I'm not entirely sure this will do it, as I rarely use Quick Access, but I haven't noticed any of my pins rearranged after disabling the two options. Either my Quick Access isn't doing it's job or this really stops it from doing that.
