    Unknown file opens when i turn on pc

    Does Windows 10 log opened files from recent files?

    Does Windows 10 have a log listing all opened files? I am trying to troubleshoot when some unknown files were opened on my PC. They appear in the Recent File list in File Explorer, but they were on an external drive and do not show a date when they were
    last opened. The files in question are .jpg located on a F: drive. Their properties only show creation dates before they were opened, and the modification dates are even older, suggesting that they were edited back then. I have searched my PC, and the files
    do not exist on it. Thanks!
