    Can't see "Recently Used Apps" on Start Menu


    I click on the clock to show Recently Added/Used Apps, but I still only see Most Used Apps. I tried changing this on the System Settings but still nothing. Tried rebooting my PC and nothing. Any suggestions?

    Frequently used apps in Start menu

    Thank you for the information. I followed the instructions (this is Windows 10). The items on the Start menu are:

    1. Show More Tiles. It was turned off so I turned it back on.

    2. Show App List in Start Menu - ON

    3. Show Recently Added Apps - ON

    4. Show Most Used Apps - Off but is gray so I cannot do anything with it.

    5. Occasionally Show Suggestions in Start - Off

    6. Use Full Start Screen - Off

    7. Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar - On

    Even with turning the Show More Tiles on the Show Most Used Apps is not available. Any suggestions?

    Can't see "Recently Used Apps" on Start Menu

    can't choose recent files from Start menu

    Hi Kim,

    Showing your recently opened items from the Start menu may not be enabled. For you to see your pinned or recently opened files for each app in the apps list, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Start.
    2. Toggle on the Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar option.

    Once the option is enabled, try opening some files from any of your Office apps. The recently opened files should now appear under
    Recent when you right-click a particular app in the App list. Please note that once this option is disabled or toggled off, all the recently opened files will be removed from the
    Start menu and from the File Explorer > Quick access.

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

    Regards.
