Appreciate the reply, Yannesss, but that doesn't seem to relate to the issue.
In Windows 11 file explorer navigation pane, how do I move Quick Access pins back to the top of the list?

When I updated my machine to Windows 11, the quick access items were moved beneath OneDrive in the File Explorer navigation pane. This is a big inconvenience since I always have my OneDrive folder expanded and can no longer scroll to the top to access my pinned folders. How do I get the pinned Quick Access items back to the top of the navigation pane where I can – ironically – access them quickly?

2023-01-06T17:25:43+00:00 I have this same issue. I have found an option under view settings that puts the quick access icons back under home, but unfortunately now they are duplicated. That is, the section we're trying to move remains while those folders ALSO show under Home. Ugh.
EDIT: Looks like this is a bug or something with Tabbed Explorer. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/win11-tabbed-explorer-duplicate-links-from-home/0b224b47-5234-4535-8b66-a2cdeaaaf364
