Recent items only displays .txt files

from Stardock Forums

I'm actually relatively new to Windows 10 and hated the version of its Start menu.  I've tried a couple of options to modify it back to something I'm more familiar with.  Used Open Shell for a few days but now using Start 10 and liking it a bit more.  My only problem though is the files listed in the "Recent Items" listing.  Previously, in Windows 7, the Recent Items list would show all files I had recently opened - text, images, documents, rar, etc.  When I use Start 10 however, it only shows text files.  Image files will never appear.  Is there any option that I could set or toggle that would allow for all files to appear (just as in Windows 7) and not just text files? 

My apologies if this was asked before, I couldn't find any related issues when searching.

Also make sure you've completely uninstalled Open Shell.

Thanks for the replies.  My apologies, I misread the version number.  It is in fact 1.8.  Also, Open Shell has been completely uninstalled and the machine was rebooted prior to installing Start10.  

I have since opened a couple of Word and Excel files and their extensions appear in the Recent Items listing and I have discovered that png files also appear, but no jpg, bmp, etc... regardless of how many times I have opened a particular image.

What application are you opening those files with?
