    Where do you find the list of items pinned to the start menu?

    A reasonable 'guess' following a couple of simple experiments suggests the registry:

    pin more items to star menu [​IMG]

    - note the name there.

    - unless the data is held where access is restricted e.g. the WindowsApps folder.

    Recent Items on Start Menu in Windows 10

    I have found that there is a line in File Explorer that is like the old Recent Items list.

    It is called Quick Access.

    Look for it at the top of the file list on the left side, it has a blue star next to it.

    It displays Frequent Folders as well as Recent Files.

    When you 'right-click' the Quick Access line you can click Pin To Start.

    After pinning it to the Start Menu it will be near the bottom of the list of Apps.

    I did a 'click and hold' while dragging it to the top of the Apps list.

    I then 'right-clicked' the Quick Access button/icon and clicked 'Resize" and clicked 'small'.

    This shows up as a small blue square with a star in it.

    Just click the star and there are your recently accessed items along with frequently used folders.
