Windows 10: I wonder if there’s a way I can undo the recent action done in File Explorer.

Because I erroneously pressed something and I don’t know what. The next thing I saw, was it was moving a file I don’t know which file and to where it was moved! Crazy!

File Explorer and Recent Files


At work, I'll open files on a network path that is only accessible at work, e.g.

\\mywork.org\shares\file.xyz

These files will appear in my recent list when opening File Explorer (Win+E). The problem I have is at home where that network path is not accessible, and the File Explorer window will HANG for minutes trying to find the file. I can get around it by running CCleaner and cleaning recent files, but I was wondering if there was something else that could be done where I don't have to wipe out my recent list?

Thanks!
