Windows 10: QUICK ACCESS MENU NOT APPEARING

Hi, my quick access menu is not showing at all, the whole bar is gone.

It used to be there, but i restored my pc and it reinstalled fine but now it is gone.


I have tried clearing the privacy settings in "folder options" and also tried the commands:

-del %appdata%\microsoft\windows\recent\automaticdestinations\*

-del %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\* -del %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items\*


But nothing seems to work, the menu still doesnt appear. Any help would be appreciated.

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.

Quick access, preventing appearance

Hi,

I know that in Windows Explorer Quick Access list I can press "pin" to make sure that given item appears always on the list. Is there a way to make this work to the other way as well i.e. no matter how often I use folder X, I never want it to appear on the list?
