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.

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...

Its getting worse :-( After I have re-enabled Quick Acces (by unchecking the "Show All Folders" option), the functionality seems to be completely broken - the "Pin to Quick access" command invoked on som recent folder pins another folder (how it chooses it remains mystery for me) - see the following video clip: Windows11-quick-access-goodie.mp4

I cannot Drag+Drop a network path to pin it. (nor right click Pin)

I created shortcut to the folder, then pinned the shortcut.
