  2. RECENT PLACES IN FILE EXPLORER

    Click Start > File Explorer > click Quick Access

    There you will find your most recent files and locations.

    OTOH, if you're looking for "Recent Places" (as in Windows 8), it's now called "Recent folders". To Pin Recent Folders to the Quick access menu, try this:

    Right-click Start, click Run. type:

    shell:::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}

    Press ENTER. This opens "Recent Folders".

    Click "Pin to Quick access" button in the ribbon.

    Try Settings - Personalisation - Start. The last toggle in the list is 'Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or taskbar'.

    Ok , so i'm kind of understanding what happens.
    When the "Show Recently Files In Quick Access" is unchecked it doesn't shows the "recent" on file explorer.
    But when it's checked , it shows the folders but only if you're open some file on same folder.
    It should be like?
    Can't i leave it off and also have the recent folders?

    Yes, that's the way it's designed to work. If you want your folders to remain in Quick Access after you turn off 'Show frequently used folders In Quick Access' then you can pin them to Quick Access.
