The screenshot above shows this default “Quick access” section which File Explorer has automatically opened when it launched.

Unlike the File Explorer tool in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 that has only one starting location, Windows 10 has two locations for you to choose from and as we have mentioned earlier, the default one is the new “Quick access” section instead of the “This PC” section which was the case in both Windows 8/8.1. Just read on to find out how this is done! Two Default Starting Locations to Choose From If you don’t like this change with the starting location that has been implemented by Microsoft in their newest operating system edition then you will need to learn how to change it back to the “This PC” section or even to a custom folder which you want to land on whenever you launch the File Explorer tool. If you haven’t noticed it then you should already be aware now that the “File Explorer” tool in your Windows 10 computer takes you to a newly added section called “Quick Access” which provides quick shortcuts to your “Frequent folders” and “Recent files”. Back in Windows 8and Windows 8.1, the File Explorer tool opened directly to the “This PC” section showing your libraries, folders and available drive partitions but in Windows 10, it takes you somewhere else by default which is quite annoying especially if you’re used to its old configuration. You might have already been using Windows 10 for more than a month now but haven’t really enjoyed the file management aspect of it because of some changes that were implemented in this latest Windows OSversion.
