Windows+E opens “Quick Access” instead opening “Windows explorer” in WIndows 10

Question

in Windows 7, 8 & 8.1 I used to use shortcut key combination of Win+E to open Windows Explorer. But in Windows 10, i see that Win+E opens Quick Access location by default.

Is there anyway to set Default Location as This PC (Windows Explorer) for Win+E.

ps - I've already visited this links but as you can see non of these addresses Windows 10.

Can I change the location that Windows key + E opens to (Windows 7 specific)?

Is there a way to set up a default folder for Windows Explorer?

Answer 1

If you click File at top left then click Change Folder and search options, you can change it to only two options This PC or Quick Access

Answer 2

It's old but I guess still needed.. So, as illustrated in the picture. Open Explorer and go to View -> Options -> General. Change Open File Explorer to This PC. That's all.

Answer 3

Alternative process with Registry editor::

• Go to this Registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced].

• Find the DWORD value LaunchTo.

• If you want to set it in Quick Access change the registry data 2

• If you want to set it in This PC change the registry data 1
