    File Explorer in Win 10 taskbar not showing Recent folders

    When I right-click Word or Excel in my Windows 10 taskbar, a list of recent folders appears. But when I right-click File Explorer, only Pinned and Frequent folders appear. Neither of these is as useful to me as the Recent folders. Any suggestions on how
    I can get Recent folders to appear?

    Thank you.

    Add Recent Places/Folders to File Explorer taskbar Jump List

    I've read almost all the threads related to this subject.

    I would like the right-click jump list on the file explorer icon in the taskbar to show a Recent Folders section.

    I don't want Frequent Folders.

    I don't want Recent Files

    I'm not trying to pin "Recent Folders" to Quick Access.

    I'm trying to make the jump list look like this:

    Recent files and folders not showing in Quick access

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you are unable to see files and folders under the Quick access section.

    The Quick access section will show all the recent files accessed under the recent files section and the most recent folder on the left pane.

    As per the screenshot provided by you, I can see that the options are already checked. I suggest you to click on the
    Restore Defaults button to restore the settings back to default and check if that helps.

    You can also create a new user account and check if the options are working. Follow the steps from the article

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10     to create a new user account.

    Also, I suggest you to run DISM command to check for system file corruptions and repair them. Please follow the steps mentioned below to run DISM scan:

    1. Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    2. Right click on the Command prompt icon and select
      Run as administrator.
    3. Type the command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
      and press Enter.
    4. Restart the PC.

    Hope it helps.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
