  1. Recent places in Explorer doesn't work.


    Hiya,

    has had this issue for a couple of days now where I right click on the Explorer app on the taskbar and click a recently visited folder and nothing happens, there is no window popping up with the location.

    I have also looked through Brink's tutorial on the forums on how to enable the "recently visited" and it is set to "on" so I'm just throwing out a ball hoping someone will catch it and say, "Aye".

  2. RECENT PLACES IN FILE EXPLORER

    Click Start > File Explorer > click Quick Access

    There you will find your most recent files and locations.

    OTOH, if you're looking for "Recent Places" (as in Windows 8), it's now called "Recent folders". To Pin Recent Folders to the Quick access menu, try this:

    Right-click Start, click Run. type:

    shell:::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}

    Press ENTER. This opens "Recent Folders".

    Click "Pin to Quick access" button in the ribbon.

  5. Hi Brink,

    So this would delete all my favourite places and I'd have to re-add once it is done?

    Unless they were pinned, it would remove them.

  7. I see well my problem is still there. I think I'll just have to record it rather than explaining.

  10. Yeah no uhm that is not the issue here, the issue is that when I click on one of my frequent places nothing happens, no window pops up. I have cleared it and redone the whole list.

    Sorry, I had thought that it was an old recent item that no longer existed and was why it wasn't opening.

    Are you having issues opening anything else?

  12. Wait what do you mean old?

    No this is for the moment my only negative thought about Windows 10.

    Recent places in Explorer doesn't work.

    Sometimes you may find that you still have a folder or file listed under recent in jump lists that it's source has actually already been deleted.

    Since you did clear recent items and still have this issue, then that wouldn't be the problem though.

    I'm afraid that I'm not sure what could be the issue that prevents items in jump lists from opening.

    Do you remember installing anything right before this started?

  14. Well not anything out of the ordinary, I don't actually recall the last time I installed something.

    Though I feel like that it has been ongoing since I installed W10..

    Maybe I could get an answer checking the Event Viewer?
