How to Disable Quick Access in File Explorer on Windows 10
How to Disable Quick Access in File Explorer on Windows 10
Windows 10’s File Explorer has a new view called “Quick Access”.This list of folders also replaces the old favorite folders list.
So it show a list of “frequent folders” and recent files,so you can access them more quickly.
This option can be disabled , and fIle Explorer can still work the old-fashioned way
So it show a list of “frequent folders” and recent files,so you can access them more quickly.
This option can be disabled , and fIle Explorer can still work the old-fashioned way
Make File Explorer Open to “This PC” Instead of Quick Access
Whenever you open a FIle Explorer window, you’ll see the Quick Access view, which provides access to frequently used folders and recently used files. (File Explorer was previously named Windows Explorer in Windows 7 and earlier versions of Windows, but was renamed to File Explorer in Windows 8.)
But you might want to see the “This PC” view instead — it’s more like the traditional My Computer view on older versions of Windows that displayed connected devices and drives. It also displays your user account’s folders — Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos. This was the default view when you opened a File Explorer window on Windows 8.
To make File Explorer open to the This PC view, click the File menu, and select “Change folder and search options.” Click the “Open File Explorer to” box at the top of the window and select “This PC” instead of “Quick access.”
No, Windows still doesn’t provide an easy way to have File Explorer automatically open to another folder of your choice when you click its taskbar icon.
To make the Quick Access list function like the old favorites list, you just need to prevent it from showing the frequently used folders. To do so, click the File menu and select “Change folder and search options.” Under Privacy at the bottom of the window, uncheck “Show frequently used folders in Quick access.”
You can now add your own favorite folders to the quick access list by dragging-and-dropping them there. To remove a folder from quick access, right-click it and select “Unpin from quick access.” It’s still called the “Quick access” menu, but it functions identically to the old list of favorite folders.
You could have File Explorer automatically open to a Quick Access view that just shows frequently accessed folders, or disable both options and FIle Explorer would automatically open to a Quick Access view that just displayed your pinned favorite folders.
The Quick Access view also appears in the traditional Save and Open dialogs, replacing the old Favorites list that only listed your favorites folders. Tweak the above options and it will function identically to the Favorites list on previous versions of Windows

Restore Favorite Folders to the SIdebar
The Quick Access list takes the place of the old Favorites list at the top-left corner of your File Explorer window. If you look closely, you’ll see that it’s actually just a slightly redesigned Favorites list. It contains favorite folders you can choose, which are the “pinned” folders. These will always appear in your Quick Access list. Windows also automatically adds frequently used folders to this list, presumably to help Windows users who never customize the Favorites with their most-used folders.To make the Quick Access list function like the old favorites list, you just need to prevent it from showing the frequently used folders. To do so, click the File menu and select “Change folder and search options.” Under Privacy at the bottom of the window, uncheck “Show frequently used folders in Quick access.”

To remove a folder from quick access, right-click it and select “Unpin from quick access.” It’s still called the “Quick access” menu, but it functions identically to the old list of favorite folders.
Customize What Appears in Quick Access
When in the Folder and Search Options window, you can also choose to uncheck “Show recently used files in Quick access.” This will prevent the main Quick access view from displaying your recent files.You could have File Explorer automatically open to a Quick Access view that just shows frequently accessed folders, or disable both options and FIle Explorer would automatically open to a Quick Access view that just displayed your pinned favorite folders.
The Quick Access view also appears in the traditional Save and Open dialogs, replacing the old Favorites list that only listed your favorites folders. Tweak the above options and it will function identically to the Favorites list on previous versions of Windows

Everything You Need to Disable in Windows 10
Everything You Need to Disable in Windows 10
Windows 10 is the most cloud-oriented version of Windows to date—yet, while this means you get some nifty new features, it also means some of your personal data is being shared with Microsofts servers.
In general, Microsoft has proven to be a fairly trustworthy company when it comes to utilizing your data in order to streamline services like Cortana, but an excerpt from their privacy statement puts the scope of this data mining into perspective:
In all fairness to Microsoft, this type of behavior has become commonplace amongst tech companies across the world—but that doesnt mean we should sit idly by. Additionally, some of these features can cost you battery life and performance, so Ill show you how to disable them all below.
Disable Wi-Fi Sense
The first questionable Windows 10 feature Id like to talk about is called "Wi-Fi Sense." Microsoft enabled this feature by default, and to summarize, your network passwords can now be shared with your social media friends automatically. Its a 2-way street, so the convenience factor is definitely appealing—no more asking for your friends Wi-Fi password, and no more issues conveying your own complicated password to your friends.
The description sounds scary, but Wi-Fi Sense does not share passwords automatically—while its enabled by default (so you can access shared passwords), you have to explicitly choose what passwords to share. None are shared without you explicitly choosing to share them. When shared, the passwords are securely stored on Microsofts servers and never revealed to others, even when shared, but thats just it—its my password, and I never wanted Microsoft to have it in the first place. Encrypted or not.
So if youd like to disable Wi-Fi Sense, open your Start menu and launch the Settings app. From here, choose the "Network & Internet" option to begin.
Next, click the "Manage Wi-Fi settings" option on the following page.
From here, the Wi-Fi Sense options will be displayed at the top of the screen. Basically, you want to disable every last option in this menu.
At this point, youll no longer be participating in Microsofts Wi-Fi sharing program, but your passwords may still be stored remotely. To disable Wi-Fi Sense altogether, youll have to add a suffix of "_optout" to the end of your Wi-Fi networks name (SSID) through your routers settings menu.
Disable Bandwidth Sharing for Updates
In another strange act of opt-out data sharing between users, Windows now uses a sort-of peer-to-peer network for downloading updates. Similar to a torrent program, this means that when you download a Windows update file, youre also uploading parts of it to other users.
Since unnecessary bandwidth usage can be costly, youll probably want to disable this one. Again, start by heading to the Settings menu, but this time open the "Update & Security" section.
From the "Windows Update" tab on the next screen, click the "Advanced options" button to find the setting were looking for.
Next, scroll down to the bottom of this page, then select the option labeled "Choose how updates are delivered."
Finally, turn off the toggle switch directly beneath the excerpt about "Updates from more than one place." They really buried this one deep, didnt they?
Disable Automatically-Applied Updates
On the subject of updates, Windows 10 now automatically applies updates by default, which is a nice feature on the surface. The downside here, though, is that while they say itll only restart your device while youre not using it, I can personally attest that this is not always true.
So if you dont want to run the risk of losing unsaved data when Windows decides it needs to update itself, head to Settings, then Update & Security, and select the "Advanced options" entry again. From here, click the drop-down menu directly beneath the "Choose how updates are installed" header.
Finally, set this option to "Notify to schedule restart." This will ensure that Windows at least gives you a warning before restarting itself to apply updates.
If you experience any issues with Windows restarting multiple times in an attempt to apply the same broken update, be sure that you have disable automatic updates on Windows 10.
Disable Getting to Know You Features
Another disturbing feature that is meant to streamline your Windows 10 experience is called "Getting to know you." This one logs your typing history, saves recordings of your voice, collects information from your contacts, calendar, and even your handwriting—all in the name of giving you a more personalized experience with Cortana.
In addition to options for the "Getting to know you" feature, each of these last 4 sections will be dealing with options in Windows 10s Privacy menu—so open your Start menu and launch the Settings app, then select "Privacy" to begin.
From here, select the "Speech, inking & typing" category in the left-hand menu, then click "Stop getting to know me" to take back a bit of privacy.
Disable Targeted Ads
With Windows 10, youve now been issued a unique advertising ID to help "serve" you with more targeted ads. This ID cannot be removed permanently, but at the very least, you can prevent 3rd-party apps from accessing this data.
To begin, head to the "General" tab in Windows 10s Privacy menu. From here, make sure to disable the topmost toggle switch, labeled "Let apps use my advertising ID for experiences across apps."
