Start Menu - Recent Documents Issue
Problem is on Windows 10 and Windows 11
Saturday, May 16, 2026 by LightStar | Discussion: Windows 10
Is anyone having the issue with the Windows 10/11 Recent Documents expansion not working on the Start Menu? Mine is not working at all anymore on either operating system even though I have it set for them to show in the Windows Settings.

I don't see a Windows setting for "Show Recent Documents." Tell me where to find this setting and I'll test it for you.
Which style of Start menu and sub-style are you using?

Does not matter what skin I apply in Windowblinds, even Default, the Recent Documents function is not there. This is where the setting is in Windows 10 (image shown). As you can see, I have it turned on for Recent Documents. Your image is for Windows 11 and the function you have turned on is also turned on in my Windows 11, still does not show them though here.

Sorry, I am running Windows 11, and am only able to get recent files in the jump lists in Start11 and File Explorer. I don't use Window blinds either.
