Recently-used applications in Start11?

from Stardock Forums

I recently got my hands on both Windowblinds and also Start11 to go along with it (had been eyeing it for a while, noticed that it was a one-time purchase instead of a subscription and had to support it immediately).

I'm loving the software but I'm having one specific issue with it, and I'm not sure if it's a missing feature or I'm just missing something.

 

I've used open-shell before, and that software would allow you to, in any style, have your recent applications show up under your pinned applications in your start menu. Sort of like how it worked in old Windows.

I imagined such a feature would also be here, but... it doesn't seem to be. I searched, and saw posts on older versions about this being a thing, but at least on the Windows 7 style it doesn't seem to be?

There's an option for "frequent" applications on the left side, but that's not what I'm looking for, I'm looking for my recently used ones.

 

Is there something I'm missing, is it just not available as a feature on the Windows 7 style? Was it changed from older versions where apparently people were bringing it up as a feature that the software had?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. For Windows 7 style, I believe, there is no such option. There is option for "recent document" available to add on your Right side Shortcuts list. And there is "Most used applications" after my pinned shortcuts.

Thank you.

Hmm... Are there any plans to possibly add that in any future updates to the software?

I've been liking it so far, but that's honestly my only gripe with it right now; it feels odd that this feature would be available and functioning, but only for some specific styles and not others.
