Windows 10: Windows Explorer

Does anyone have any hints as to how to get the Quick Access section of Windows Explorer to actually load in Win 11? I have tried a bunch of fixes in the past, and every time Microsoft pushes an update it reverts to its default behavior. Often times "This PC" will not load in the left pane, resulting in necessitating typing out filepaths by hand.How is it possible the Microsoft has nearly bricked an integral part of the user interface?I am about to replace an old workstation that I use for creative work, and I have no desire to replace it with Win 11. The OS is a hot mess.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
