Heya,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. This seems to be an issue with how Quick Access is tied into Home in Windows File Explorer. This is not something we can really fix, but it does make sense to add a warning about this.

I second adding a warning about disabling the Home tab from explorer (after spending a bunch of time figuring exactly this out...)
