    "Recent Items" list vs Opening a folder for Recent Items


    Set up Recent items :) Hello all... I am not understanding how MS elected removed the list of recent files and replaced it with opening a folder to see the recent files. That is now a 2 step process because you have to close the folder. I used the "recent items" a lot and I miss it - I'm sure others do ass well.
    The solutions offered here only are partial, they only add the link to the start menu / jump lists, but those still open an actual folder which then has to be closed. If you open multiple files, then you have to close multiple folders. Odd...
    I'm not a programmer - but I'm thinking (hoping!) that someone around here may be knowledgeable enough to find a way to return the actual "Recent Items" list, without opening a folder.
    I'm thinking I may not be alone on this one...
    Thank you!!

    Windows 10: store and display recently opened items

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and see if that helps.

    a. Click on Start.

    b. Click on Settings.

    c. Click on Personalization.

    d. Click on Start option.

    e. Disable ‘ Show recently opened items in jumped list on Start or the task bar’.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other issues with Windows in future.

    Set up Recent items

    Recent items still showing up after turning them off in settings


    I have turned off the "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" setting, but I'm still getting the recent items when right clicking File Explorer in the taskbar. File Explorer seems to be the only place where the recent folders are shown. Does this setting not include explorer? Is there another setting that will do this? Thanks in advance for the help.
