Windows 10: Windows 11 quick settings from taskbar not opening

Hello community,On Windows 11, when I am clicking left on the 3 grouped icons Net,Vol,Power settings nothing happens. See image below. I can only right click it and go to big settings, which is annoying. I tried restarting, did not help.When Win11 first installed, it was opening some sort of quick small popup to quick access settings. How to enable it again?Thanks, Matej

Problem with Quick access that hasn't been seen before

Hi,

Frequent places is a list of folders and websites that you have opened recently. These items are displayed as "Frequent folders" in Quick access folder. In case you're unable to pin any folders to Quick access, you might want to check if the "Show recently
opened item in the Jump lists in Start or the taskbar" is On. To do that, follow these steps:

• Open Settings, click on the Personalization icon.
  
• Click on Start on the left side. Under " Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" toggle it to
  On.
  
• Close the Settings windows and try to pin the any folders to the Quick access folder.
  

If still the issue occurs, run the System File Checker tool. It s a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. To run the tool, follow these steps:

• Right click on the Start button and choose Command Prompt (Admin)
  
• At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
  ENTER: sfc /scannow

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22449 | Windows Insider Blog

Recently, Windows Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels began reporting that Start and Taskbar were unresponsive and Settings and other areas of the OS wouldn’t load. We quickly discovered an issue with a server-side deployment that went out to Insiders and canceled that deployment. If you were impacted by this issue, you can use the following steps to get back into a working state on your PC.

• Step 1: Use CTRL-ALT-DEL and choose to open Task Manager.
  
• Step 2: Choose “More details” at the bottom of Task Manager to expand Task Manager.
  
• Step 3: Go to “File” and choose “Run new task”.
  
• Step 4: Type “cmd” in the “Open” field.
  
• Step 5: Paste the following (everything in bold):
  reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0
  
• Step 6: Hit enter, and then your PC should reboot. After rebooting, everything should be back to normal.
