How To Reset The Quick Access Pinned Folders In Windows
Windows has many features that are supposed to help with productivity. The Quick access feature is one of them. Quick Access can make your workflow faster and improve productivity. Folders pinned to Quick access will display under Frequent folders in Quick access in File Explorer, and under Quick access in the navigation pane of File Explorer.
