Windows 10: Right Click Items in Quick Access Crashes Explorer

When right clicking on items in quick access, explorer crashes.


- I have cleared file explorer history.

- I have removed unchecked "show frequently used folders in quick access"

- When I start explorer via CMD (right click > Run as Administrator) then I can right click on quick access without crashing.

- I've also enabled the default Administrator profile (net user administrator /active:yes) and I am able to right click w/out crashing.


My user profile indicates I am an administrator, I do not have issues with administrator rights anywhere else except here which is why I cannot fix this.


Does anyone have any suggestions on why my profile, which is marked as administrator, does not have sufficient rights to right click on items in the quick access menu?

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?
