Windows 10 quick access is not working: fix it now!

Why is it not working?

However, there are times when the Quick Access utility stops working, errors occur during operation, or the workflow becomes unbearable because of the slow operation. You may have three possible solutions to this problem.

The first is to close Quick Access and reopen it.

The second way is to clear the cache in two folders.

Finally, the third option is to go to the registry and turn off Quick Access to Windows 10.

If these solutions did not help, try them together.

The next method is to remove two directories from the operating system

For this purpose, first, open the explorer. Find the address bar and enter the path % AppData% \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Recent \ AutomaticDestinations. In the window that opens, you will see a list of files and folders. You need to select all the data and delete it. Now, try this again with the following path % AppData% \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Recent \ CustomDestinations. As a result, reboot the operating system and open Quick Access for Windows 10. If this solution does not help you, go to the next one.

Protect your data

In order to always be sure of the safety of your information, be it music, documents, photographs, and others, you need to have a program with you to quickly recover lost data. One of the best on the market today is DiskInternals Partition Recovery.

With the help of the program, you can quickly and efficiently recover deleted or damaged files on devices. With DiskInternals Partition Recovery software, you can work with many storage media, for example, HDD, SSD, flash drive, external hard drive, memory cards, IDE disk, SATA disk, SCSI disk, etc. for NTFS and FAT Recovery.

The program has three wizards (partition recovery wizard, NTFS recovery wizard, and FAT recovery wizard) and, therefore, it supports the following file systems: Reiser4, XFS, Ext2, Ext3 and Ext4, HFS, NTFS, ReiserFS, APFS (reader mode), RomFS ( reader mode); FAT, ReFS, UFS. DiskInternals Partition Recovery scans the file system in three modes depending on your preference.

• The first is a quick scan. This mode will not take you much time and will help you recover files that lie on the surface without access to deep directories of your OS.

• The next is full scan mode. In this case, it will take more time to search for files, but you will be able to find the deleted and damaged data in full.

• And finally, the third is reader mode. With it, you have the ability to open system drives in Explorer. This is especially useful when disk partitions aren't compatible with Windows (these file systems like HFS+, ApFS).

Now, let's try to recover deleted data step by step. Download the trial version of DiskInternals Partition Recovery. When you open the program, the recovery wizard will open at once. Now, select the damaged system drive and the recovery mode listed above. Click Next. The process of scanning the file system will take place, but it will take you a little time. Upon completion of the process, you will see the deleted and damaged files available for recovery in the preview section.

If you are convinced of the program's capabilities, all you have to do is purchase a license key on the official DiskInternals website. Now, select the partition on the device and save the files you need.
