Applies to

  • Microsoft Windows 10
  • Windows File Explorer

Description

  • Prevent opening Files and Folder to Quick access in Windows file explorer.
  • Quick Access panel queries each location pinned every 30-60 seconds, which can interfere with the GFC lease mechanism and cause leases to never drop.
    • Quick Access enabled can lead to unwanted locked files on the Global File Cache Core server.
