Windows 10: Recommended Section Windows 11 : how to display again a file removed from the list ?

Hello,I like the Recommended section of Windows 11 in Start Menu, especially to open files that I am using frequently.For some files, I asked Windows 11 by mistake to remove them from the Recommanded section by a 'Right Click' -> Remove from the list. Now, I want to have them again in the Recommended section.But I cannot find the way to reinitialize the Recommended section settings or to add them back in the list one by one.I tried to activate/deactivate Recommended section but it does not do that.Any advice ?Thank you for your help.

:)

...

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.
