Windows 10 - Cannot Pin to Quick Access: The parameter is incorrect

[GrandMaster]

Hey I can't pin anything to quick access. Every time I try it tells me that the parameter is incorrect.

 

I've tried multiple troubleshooting methods available on google to no success.

I got the exact same error message whenever I tried to open up a .jpg file off of my external drive. Weird issue, but a restart fixed it. I know that probably doesn't help you much, but thought that thee same error message in both cases was interesting.

I appear to have stumbled onto the possible cause for this issue, and how to fix it.  I believe the issue was started when I ran PrivaZer against my OS drive the first time.  The fix is pretty odd, as I fixed it by running PrivaZer against my OS drive a second time.  Once PrivaZer had completed is job, Quick Access and Jump List were back working.  I didn't even have to reboot.

 

Unfortunately, I have no idea why this worked, or even why it happened in the first place.  I'm going to pass this along to PrivaZer.  Maybe they can figure it out.

I have a similar problem.  It was working, and then all of the sudden it just stopped.  I have no idea what the problem could be.

Hey, just came across this over at Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3gozev/help_cant_pin_any_folder_to_quick_access_the/

I found this on another site (can't remember where) but running this in command prompt worked for me.
