Many posts about getting rid of this “feature” say to click the three dots, click Options, then go to General and uncheck the boxes under Privacy. THIS DOES NOT WORK.
What works instead is to go into the General tab and change Open File Explorer to This PC instead of Home. I encourage others to try it too.

You can also go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and create a new DWORD (32-bit) value on the right side. Rename it to HubMode and double-click to modify the value: 1 to hide, 0 to show.
Then, restart Windows Explorer in Task Manager to hide Quick Access

Copy below text and save as QUICKACCESS.REG and run as Administrator, reboot the computer and it will be gone :)
