Hi guys, I'm having problem with Quick Access. This is what happens when I try pin something: http://i.imgur.com/XYlBfBm.png

And when I expand Quick Access in Navigation Pane, it's empty.. And so is folder, when I open Quick Access in a new window (I disabled recently files and frequently folders in Options, but they're working).

What is weird, Links folder in my User folder has 2 shortcuts, to Desktop and Downloads, so they should show up in Quick Access (I'm guessing that location of Quick Access folder is exactly the same as the Favourites in Windows 7 & 8: %USERPROFILE%/Links).

I already tried this and this, but none of them worked.

I installed Windows 10 yesterday from scratch, and I already tried sfc /scannow, but it didn't found anything.

Can you help me? Thanks :)

EDIT: I ended up reinstalling Windows, and it's working now, but some people still have this problem :/

Quick Access Windows 10 Not Working After Update

The quick access folder in the Windows 10 explorer usually groups the items by type, first all folders and then all files:

I have one machine where for one user that grouping is missing:

For other users on the same machine the grouping is as it should be. The group and sort options in the context menu on quick access are disabled, but that seems to be normal, as it is disable for other users too. I tried setting the options back to defaults in the explorer options, but that didn't do the trick. Apart from that I can't find any option to turn grouping on or off for quick access.

• In other folders the sorting and grouping works as normal
• Changing the view mode (tiles, small icons, large icons etc.) makes no difference (this came up in a now deleted answer)
• I browsed through the registry, looking for obvious options, finding none
• It works correctly for other user accounts on the same machine
• The machine is joined to a domain, there are no group policies set that should affect this
• The user with the problem is not a domain user, it's a local account

How can I turn grouping in quick access back on?

I recently had this issue, which I fixed by using the 'Reset Folders' button under the 'View' tab, in the 'Folder Options' property menu.

I suspect the quick access folder is handled uniquely by Windows Explorer, and as such doesn't do its ordering and sorting by the 'normal' means (i.e using the 'Sort By' and 'Order By' settings) which is why they're greyed out.

I know the question is old, but this issue pops up occasionally. Don't know why the shell sometimes hiccups and loses the GroupBy info for Qucik Access, but as others have noted, the Group by > option is grayed out when viewing Quick Access.

Here's the PowerShell to 'surgically' remove only the corruptted saved view for Quick Access without losing all saved fodler views:

One-liner version:

Keith

Click on the View(Ansicht) menu --> Click on Group by --> Type

PS: I don't know what these items are called in German so you'll have to figure out them yourself. Good luck.
