Windows 10: Recent documents not showing on taskbar

Hello.


My recent documents are not showing up on the taskbar. I've tried several solutions and nothing seemed to work.


The "quick access" is activated and working, showing the recent files. The option " Show Recently opened ..." on Start settings is activated as well. Nonetheless, no files are being show on the taskbar.


I've tried different solutions. Nothing worked.


1. Tried to deactivate the options, clear the cache, and activate them again. Didn't work.


2. Tried to "pin to start" the quick access. Didn't work. Same with the folder "Recent" found in C:/Users/<Username>/Recent and C:/Users/<Username>/AppData.


3. Deleted all files on %AppData%\Microsoft\windows\recent\automaticdestinations and %AppData%\Microsoft\windows\recent\customdestinations. Didn't work either.


I'm running out of solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

:)

and before i've many pinned document, and the other recent document still showed, but in win 10 the other recent document not available unless i remove some pinned document

 

Recent Documents


Right click on Word, Excel, Notepad, Wordpad and you will see a list of recent files used by that program, I have these pinned to the Taskbar so I can right click, pick the document or files I want and poof, I'm there.

 

Re-enabling recent documents

An update with auto-patcher disabled the recent documents under start menu in windows Xp. Any way to get it back?
Also how can I set it to show only recently viewed text documents.
