[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{679f85cb-0220-4080-b29b-5540cc05aab6}\shell\pintohome\command] "DelegateExecute"="{b455f46e-e4af-4035-b0a4-cf18d2f6f28e}" is identical in both of the user profiles. I looked at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] for both users and...

Okay, I think I did what you suggested: I exported HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{679f85cb-0220-4080-b29b-5540cc05aab6} while logged in as each user. Here's a side-by-side screenshot, and I'm not an expert at "spot the differences" games, but it looks like they are identical? My normal user...

Plot twist: While I cannot drag/drop a folder to Quick Access and have it appear there, the folder *does* then appear on the jumplist when right-clicking on the File Explorer icon in the Taskbar. I consider that a reasonable compromise: I can at least get direct access to folders via the...

Back to square one: Did an in-place upgrade, but still cannot pin anything to Quick Access in File Explorer. Any other ideas, other than wiping the drive and doing a fresh Windows installation?

Yes, I did these: I just now backed up all my data files – just in case – and now am going to see if doing an in-place upgrade helps. I did create a new user, and in File Explore for that new user I could pin things to Quick Access.

@dalchina : My experience regarding the Quick Access issue is parallel to @Antonio Herrera 's experience in Post #5. Here's a summary of my history: - I did a clean install of Windows 11 on 25-Jan-2026 - I recreated my personalized Quick Access area of File Explorer by dragging/dropping...

I'll tag on here. I have a nice list of folders pinned in the Quick Access area of File Explorer. I just tried to add a new folder, but nothing happens either by dragging it to Quick Access or by right-clicking the folder and choosing Pin to Quick Access. It has been a while (several months?)...

I just wiped the hard drive of all partitions, reinstalled Win11, recreated the data partition and copied back all my data, reinstalled apps (except Avast Antivirus and Comodo Firewall) and within hours of installing Vivaldi as the default browser, the browser already reverted to Edge as the...

I just ran the (elderly) Intel Burn Test for 5 iterations at Maximum and it passed. When I googled Burn Test, I clicked on a promising link at the top of the results. A tragic mistake. My computer is infected with something now. Based on comments from experts on another ElevenForum thread...

Correction: Intel's Burn Test It seems the latest version of Intel BurnTest is v.2.54, which is from 2012. So, what is the current/best way to stress test a CPU?

I was offline when I installed Windows. That's pretty much what I did. Thanks. Now, let's get on with experimenting, please. Or, preferably, finding the culprit that is messing with my Windows configuration.

Okay, I'm baaack. I thought I would solve the problem by wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows. No such luck. Within an hour or two of reinstalling Vivaldi, the default browser reverted to Edge. <sigh...> Vivaldi folks think it's a Windows issue since no other Vivaldi users seem...

Agreed, but it's a sign of the times that gaining an additional 1GB of space these days is considered not very much. My first computer had a 20MB hard drive. Thanks!

Thanks. I did that, except I didn't delete the MyAsus and Recovery partitions since they are at the end of the drive, i.e. "to the right of" the data partition when looking at Windows Disk Management Are they no longer relevant with the new Windows installation, or can they still be used for...

Okay, we've had a good run, but enough is enough. I'm going to wipe the Windows partition and reinstall Windows from scratch using the USB drive's Win11 installation files.
