  1. Recent application in start menu


    The start menu use to show applications that you recently opened. Not sure when it happened, but they are no longer there. Is there a way to bring this back?

    :)

    No recent document for applications on start menu


    These list of recent files are called Jump Lists. Windows 10 still has them, but now you get them by right-clicking on the application on the Start menu (or on an application pinned to the taskbar).

    If you can't see a jump list this way, check that 'Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar' is turned on in:
    Settings > Personalise > Start

    NB: Be careful with this setting. The way to clear all Jump Lists is turn this setting off then back on again.

    Hi!
    I used to have Windows7 for many years and lately I upgraded it to Windows10.
    On Windows7 I used to have for the application on start menu a black arrow right and when I hover it, I see the recent files I used (see attachment from Windows7 - red circles for the arrows):

    Now at my laptop with Windows10 I don't have these arrows.
    Any suggestions how can I make them appear again?

    Start Menu Recent files


    It doesn't work off the start menu in win10, I posted the same a few weeks ago.

    Oddly, if the programs appear in most recent used, then you do get the recent files list. Or if you pin to the task bar, you also get the recent list if you right click the icon.

    Microsoft's proper name for these recent files is jump list.

    Some has shown a beta of a later win10, and the jump list might return if pinned to the start menu. Doubly annoying is if you pin a program to the start menu, it's removed from most used.
