Windows 10: Quck access automatically clears after every restart

It means I stare into empty window when I click File Explorer... instead of what I have done recently. This started very recently. End of last month. Not sure if it's an app or an update or a Troubleshoot fix or whatever that somehow did something behind my back and changed my Quick access default setting. I thought it was CCleaner doing it in the background so I uninstalled that just to make sure. But to no avail. Nothing changed - my QA continues to auto-clear all "recent" stuff. Task scheduler is my next suspect but I dunno how to find the culprit (cause it's difficult what to look for if you don't even know the name of what you are looking for. I suspect it's a Microsoft fix that's behind it but Microsoft has it's own extensive Task Scheduler library, separate from all other apps that have something scheduled). So where do you even begin to look?

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

 

Quck Access bar is not working. Error "The docfile has been corrupted."

The following error occurs when I pin any shortcut to Quick Access : "The docfile has been corrupted."

 

Automatic Restart

We appreciate your response. We suggest that you turn on the automatic restart using command prompt. However, you need to access the
Startup settings. On some Windows 10 computer, pressing
F11 once a computer boots up will bring the System Recovery menu. We suggest that you check if it's the same on your computer. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Turn on your computer, then press F11 simultaneously.
• If a blue screen with Choose an option shows up, click on
  Troubleshoot.
• Look for Advanced options, then click on Command Prompt.
• On the command prompt, type this in "wmic RecoverOS set AutoReboot = True".
• Once done, click the "X" at the top right of the screen.

Restart your computer and see if the issue persists.

We would appreciate it if you'd provide a screenshot of the command prompt.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
