Windows 10: Quick Access vanished from all windows

Hello,For a few days now I've had a problem with my quick access that just suddenly vanished. I have been using it pretty extensively as it made navigating my folders so much easier. I have tried to find a solution on the internet but most only deal with pinning and unpinning folders from the quick access or resetting it compeletely. Nothing so far has helped me regain the quick access. In the picture you can see that where I should be having the quick access, there is nothing right now. Any way I could restore it? It really makes Windows feel a lot more sluggish and a hassle to use.Thank you

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 Not Working

This happened recently. My big list of quick access items suddenly became three items (Desktop, Downloads, Documents). I tried to refresh, or add folders by pinning them to quick access but it wouldn't work. I tried a troubleshooting suggestion from another
website, and that didn't work either. When I unpinned one item from quick access it vanished, and never came back. I still can't add anything to Quick Access still. Please someone help me here. Thank you
