    This is stock Dell 7720. Only thing not stock is that it is dual boot with Ubuntu Unity 25.04 and SSD has two exFAT partitions for my files. They can be accessed by both Ubuntu and Win software.

Ordinarily you have to Pin them manually yourself..., if they are auto-pinning, it must be a OneDrive thing, or something else.
