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.

Nice. I never noticed that before. But its the perfect place to have quick access short cuts available.

This works but I want to view all folders and have quick access! Then when I want to move a file I can do so from this window otherwise you have to find it anyway on the left panel so it is open on both the right and left sides. :(

reply to Stevepow:

I don't have a line "show recommended action". I'd just like to get back the column header when in Home. Column header appears on every other selection...

The culprit is the only "Show all folders" options there in "Navigation Pane".
