Windows 10: Windows 10 Quick Access Disappears on Startup

Ok, maybe we are getting somewhere! There is one more trick up my sleeve; the following tutorial may be a more reliable way of clearing the list and resetting it rather than deleting the automaticdestinations folder:

Alrighty, I performed all three options outlined in the link you provided but the quick access folders still disappeared upon a restart.

 

Well, I am sorry that this has wasted your time, I'm going to have a longer think about what might be going on. In the meantime I guess someone else will pop in and add their thoughts. It has to be something that a restart is undoing, does it also happen with a shutdown?

 

Yes, it also happens with a shut down. I turn my computer off most nights and when I come back the next morning, the quick access folders are gone.

You didn't waste my time. *Smile I really appreciate you trying to help! Thanks!

 

I came across this post about Quick Access disappearing and wondered there was ever a solution. I'm having the same issue and it is driving me bonkers. Only, it's not just when I restart, it's every few minutes!

 

Unfortunately no, there was never a resolution... In fact it has gotten worse as I'm in the same boat as you with the Quick Access disappearing every few minutes! Please let me know if you have more luck than me in finding a solution.

 

Thanks for the quick response! My IT people have been working on it since I got this new computer and haven't been able to come up with anything either. I'll definitely keep you posted.

 

Do you have any software running in the background like CCleaner that might be deleting or cleaning up these links? Next time you restart try restarting with a clean boot and seeing if the Quick Access items stay in place.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

 

What build are you guys on. I have never had this problem?

 

I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series and it hasn't worked since I got it.

 

I am on a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 Pro.

 

I checked with our IT person, and we don't have a CCleaner and they checked our Firewall. I'll have to see about that special start-up.
