Hey guys, I'm dealing with an issue for one of my little old ladies I assist and I'm stumped. She's basic...very basic ...user who any little change can send her in a fantic tizzy. She won't leave me alone until I figure it out.
Her user folder I have located at its default location on her C: Drive . It's a local account. Onedrive is installed but not linked or has ever been logged into so I don't think its related to onedrive in any way..
When she uses her navigation pane to access a subfolder in one of her pinned user folders located at C:\users\herusername, the folder appears under her pinned folders in the navigation pane and stays there as a standalone folder that is NOT indicated to be pinned. These folders do not go away with a restart. She says sometime later on these folders may or may not disappear on their own from the navigation pane. (the subfolder itself is still in its original location. Only the phantom folders are what comes and goes)
This hoo-doos me as when I work with her remotely, I can't make it happen and I can't figure out how to get the folders that are showing out of the navigation pane..
This a a month old clean install I did. Windows 11 PRO 23h2 release.It's a local account. I set her up as minimalistic as I could, I must have either missed a setting or applied something incorrectly, but I can't figure out what it is.
Attached is a screenshot I took of her screen.
I know it's probably something simple that my memory is failing me on. Any ideas?
