Windows 10: Why do multiple folders sometimes get added as pinned folders in Quick Access.

Why do multiple folders sometimes get added as pinned folders in Quick Access? I didn't select this option, yet sometimes dozens of folders appear here. And is there any option other than removing them one at a time. MSi laptop, intel Core i9, 10th gen, Windows 11

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.
