This bug is very frustrating. I have noticed that shortcuts in Quick Access will not expand to current folder if the target folder is located under a folder in the user's profile. For example QA Pictures (directed to C:\Users\username\Pictures will not expand (also any shortcuts directed to subfolders under them) but QA created as: MyPictures, directed to D:\My Data\MyPictures, will expand.
So any QA shortcut directed to a folder under an item designated in Properties as Type: System Folder Location will not expand to current folder.
