    Recently used files unchecks itself even after multiple tries


    Sir,My PC running on Windows 11 21H2 22000.194 seems to uncheck the above highlighted option on itself. It's also worth noting that in settings the option is greyed out and already On. Still, I can't manage to find my recent files in quick access, start menu or any apps which portrays such a list.The values for the corresponding option are enabled in the Registry Editor.Creating another user is a not a option for me as there are some important files and appdata that are confined to the current user.

    Recent File List

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file1

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file2
    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
