    Why does the favorites tab max out at 20 files? Why does this also affect how many can be...


    I was recently doing some work and noticed that I could no longer favorite files but it maxes out at 20 I was working with a lot of files that I wanted quick access to. Also, I noticed that when I have 20 files in my favorites, I can't have any in my quick access. If I remove a file from my favorites, I can have 1 file in quick access. I want to know some solution to this and before people comment it, I have already tried QTTabBar. Its recent files thing is hard to access relatively quickly.

    IE11 - No Tabs, No Favorites Bar

    My Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 has gone very strange.

    • I have no Favorites Bar; I know how to toggle it on and off, but it will not come back
      • my Favorites are still there in the Favorites Menu bar tab (Menu Bar and Status Bar appears to be the
        only Bars I can turn on and off)
    • I have only one Tab, and can't see any others - even thought they are there somewhere - as the Taskbar Icon preview shows.

    Steps I have taken to fix this:

    • restored Advanced Settings via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
    • reset IE11 settings completely via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
    • removed IE11 completely via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot
    • reinstall IE11 via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot

    None of these steps made any difference.

    I don't know what else to try.

    Any ideas?

    Move Favorites icon to desktop win-10

    Your suggestion does not work. It did work on Windows 7.

    Move Favorites icon to desktop win-10

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows.

    • How are you trying to add the favorites to desktop?
    I suggest you to try the below steps to save the favorites on desktop and check if it helps.

    • Open the Internet Explorer and minimize the screen.
    • Then go to the favorites tab and then drag any favorites that you have saved to the desktop.
    • Once you get the favorites items \ folders then you can open the favorites and check if it is opening.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
