Post subject: | Recent documents menu on Windows 10 is always empty |
If this is a FAQ, please point me in the right direction. I searched but if it's there I missed it. Classic Shell 4.2.5 on Windows 10, current patches. No matter what I've enabled both in CS and Windows, no documents ever show up in the (recent) Documents menu. I have it set to track recent items, jumplists are enabled, etc., but still no history of recently opened documents. What am I missing? Thanks! |

Do you get jumplists on the taskbar? |

No, but I have no pinned items on the taskbar if that makes any difference. I'm also using the Classic style menu (Win 95 style). I have the recent documents item on the menu, though, but it's always empty. That's all I want - To just have recently opened documents appear in that menu (only). Thanks. |

Try pinning some programs to the taskbar and see if the jumplists work. If they do, then possibly there is a problem in the start menu. If they don't work, then the problem is in the OS - either a glitch or a setting you are missing. |

Recent Items list is still maintained by Windows, it is only shown by Classic Shell. Go to the Settings app in Windows 10 (Win key+i) > Personalization > Start and turn on "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar". |

Yep - That was it. For some reason, I hadn't located where the setting was located in Windows 10. Thanks. |
