Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while checking the task view for activities on your PC.



Ideally, if you have logged in with your Microsoft account you will be able to see the activity history of 30 days. If you have logged in with your Microsoft account and you are still not able to see the activity list, you can check if the activity
history is enable to save on the device.

1. Go to Settings > Privacy >
   Activity History.
   
2. On the right hand side check the box next to
   Store my activity history on this device.
   

You can also check all the activities performed on a particular day, to do so follow the steps.

1. Click on the Timeline icon on the taskbar.
   
2. Scroll down to the day for which you want to check the activity.
   
3. Now click on show all activities next to the
   day/date.

TASK VIEW History

Hi Sharon,

I'm Benedict, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Sorry to hear that, I'm here to help and work with you in your concerns.

Kindly check in your Settings if you haven't enabled some options in your Activity History:

1. Open Start Menu and open Settings.

2. Click on Privacy.

3. Click on Activity History.

4. In the right pane, under Activity History, enable the two options:

- Let Windows collect my activities from this PC

- Let Windows sync my activities from this PC to the cloud

5. Next, under Show activities from accounts, enable the account(s) you want to view its history in the Task View timeline.

Please let me know if that helps.

Regards,
