Recent Items not populating

My Start10's recent items setting doesn't work. While checked, it only shows "Settings". When un-checked, it shows nothing.

The default start menu and the classic shell start menu both show a list of recent programs though.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Is the "Show recently used applications" is selected? And allocate room for it.

Please post a screenshot of your problem please.

Thank you,

BTW, need to know, are you running Start10 and Classic Shell Start Menu together?

No, I have to install/uninstall the 2 programs to get one at a time to demonstrate...

Yeah, my Windows setting for this is also enabled. As is the Start10's setting for that feature.

If it still not working please try the purge and reinstall steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486022/start10-support-faq#reinstalling

Make sure to re-download the latest installer and reboot before and after installation. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,
