However, some users may find that Quick Access is not working as expected, or that it is not appearing in their File Explorer. In this article, we will show you how to troubleshoot Quick Access in Windows 10.
If Quick Access is not working, the first thing you should do is check the File Explorer options. To do this, open File Explorer and click on the View tab. In the Views section, make sure that the Show Quick Access option is checked.

If Quick Access is still not working, you can try rebuilding the index. This is a process that Windows uses to index files and folders so that they can be quickly found by search. To rebuild the index, open the Indexing Options dialog (from the Control Panel) and click on the Rebuild button.
If Quick Access is still not working, there may be an issue with the permissions for the Quick Access folder. To check the permissions, open the Properties dialog for the Quick Access folder (from File Explorer) and click on the Security tab. Make sure that your user account has Read and Write permissions.
If Quick Access is still not working, you can try resetting Windows 10. This will restore Windows 10 to its default settings and hopefully fix the Quick Access issue. To reset Windows 10, open the Settings app and go to the Update & Security section. Click on the Recovery tab and then click on the Get Started button under Reset this PC.
