    Disabling recent items from search tab and windows explorer.


    I had been using a USB and I just noticed that the files I accessed are still searchable in the search bar and windows explorer even after I removed the USB. How do I delete them?

    :)

    JumpListItems_Maximum (Recent Items) applying to Windows Explorer but no other apps. Still limited to 10 recent items.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that you want to increase the number of Recent Items shown in the Jump list. However, we would like to know the following details:



    • Which registry value have you tried changing?
    • For which applications you are unable to see the recent items in the Jump List?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer?


    Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
    Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.



    Follow the steps to take backup of registry.




    I have tried to modify the registry value JumpListItems_Maximum in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced and it seems that the Jump List displays the exact number of recent items, which is set in the registry value.



    You may try changing the registry value for JumpListItems_Maximum in the location
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced and check if that helps.



    Let us know the results.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
