Windows 10: W11 App right click on Start menu not showing previously opened documents

When I right click on Word in the Start menu, it doesn't show the previously opened documents, even though Personalization->Start has "Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists and File Explorer" set to On.Oh, should also note that I'm opening documents that are saved in Sharepoint but sync'd to File Explorer via OneDrive.I found another thread claiming to be about W11, but the screen shots are W10.Why does this not seem to be working in W11?

:)

 

Can I customize the list of suggest apps in the "Open with" menu?

Ya'll are missing the original question

Word is not in the Open with selection list. He wants to add it to that specific .pdf Open with list.

You can't use it to add additional programs, only to set default programs.

Interestingly for me it shows nothing for text files:








Then if I want to add a portable app like Jarte Plus to open with context menu windows doesn't like it.





It's not present and is near impossible to add even via "look for an app on this PC"

OpenWithAdd to the rescue:
