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.

 

File Explorer Quick Access trouble.. Cannot pin items

File Explorer is behaving weird - I cannot pin items to Quick Access. When I pin items they won't appear to QA. Also when dragging items to QA nothing happens and there's a small icon indicating that is not possible.

I did some "tweaks" with Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4.5 but I haven't found a setting there that could of made QA to not function.

I did some steps as remedy that I found with Google but those didn't help.

Any suggestions?

 

Arranging items in Quick Access

How can I organize Quick Access items in Windows Explorer? Running Windows 11 Build 22H2.
When I went to save a file, the pinned Quick Access items did not appear in the Save As dialogue box.
Found them in the new Home tab, but they seem to be organized by the chronological order of the date I "pinned" each folder to Quick Access --- the latest to be added appears at the bottom of the Quick Access list.
Is there any way to display them by alphabetical order instead?
Or is there any way I can manually placed my most frequently used Pinned item at the top of the list?
