    Great news.

    The bottom registry key is only required to be done if you have a 64-bit Windows 10.

    Wait. Why? I have 64-bit. I did just the top one and it disappeared. What does the second one do?

    The note box under step 10 in the tutorial for that registry key tells you what it's for. :)

    So, if I am understanding right, there are two navigation panes?

    That is what I am not understanding. Only one of them removes Quick access.

    You'll need to do both for 64-bit Windows to completely remove Quick access from the navigation pane when you open File Explorer, and the locations mentioned in the note box under step 10.
