Quick Access not showing in navigation pane since Windows 11 update

Anonymous

I updated to the latest version of Windows 11 yesterday. When I opened File Explorer, Quick access and recent files/folders were showing to the right of the window, but the Quick Access folder option was missing from the navigation panel on the left. So if I click away from this Window I've lost Quick Access. How do I re-enable Quick Access to the left part of the navigation pane?

Please look at the screenshot before replying. Quick Access is enabled in view mode options and can be seen, but is missing from the left side of the navigation pane.

Thanks for any help.

I actually found the solution to my problem was to run the System File Checker. Apparently, somehow I got some corrupted files on my system. When I ran that program, my quick access files appeared once again.

Awful. You cannot favorite FOLDERS, only FILES, so when I have a shared google drive that I go to all the time, I have to navigate to it or find it in recents. Agree w/ others on this thread...very bad, stupid move, MS
