Recommended Section Windows 11 : how to display again a file removed from the list ?

Hello,

I like the Recommended section of Windows 11 in Start Menu, especially to open files that I am using frequently.

For some files, I asked Windows 11 by mistake to remove them from the Recommanded section by a 'Right Click' -> Remove from the list.

Now, I want to have them again in the Recommended section.

But I cannot find the way to reinitialize the Recommended section settings or to add them back in the list one by one.

I tried to activate/deactivate Recommended section but it does not do that.

Any advice ?

Thank you for your help.

 

Windows 11 has this silly "Recommended" section on the Start Menu. Please delete it it.
