How to really get rid of Quick Access in Win 11 file explorer?
Let many folks, after going to Windows 11 I have been plagued by bloat ware and unneeded features. I recently came across this helpful guide in a Microsoft chat room dated April 3, 2024:
“I've read the prior posts on getting rid of Quick Access in File Explorer, which say to click the three dots … click Options, select the General tab, then uncheck the boxes under Privacy. THIS DOES NOT WORK - - Quick Access still shows for me.
“The best method I've found is to go into the General tab in Options then change "Open File Explorer to:" from "Home" to "This PC". It's the closest I've gotten to getting rid of another unneeded "feature" of Widows 11 (one down, many more to go). I encourage others to try it.”
This fix worked for me. Thank heavens.
