Windows 10: Re-arranging items in the Quick Access sidebar in Explorer causes considerable lag

I'm using 1904 (18362.295) and when I re-arrange any items in the Explorer sidebar the window becomes unresponsive for about 5 seconds. I've already tried clearing the quick access cache and reset it to default settings, but none of this helped.

Can't we sort Quick Access items?

In File Explorer, I want the items appearing under Quick Access to be sorted alphabetically. However, "sort" is grayed out.

Further down the list in the sidebar, items under "This PC" can be sorted. Why in the world is this not possible for Quick Access?

 

File Explorer Quick Access trouble.. Cannot pin items


File Explorer is behaving weird - I cannot pin items to Quick Access. When I pin items they won't appear to QA. Also when dragging items to QA nothing happens and there's a small icon indicating that is not possible.

I did some "tweaks" with Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4.5 but I haven't found a setting there that could of made QA to not function.

I did some steps as remedy that I found with Google but those didn't help.

Any suggestions?
