Recent items not working

from Stardock Forums

When using Start11, adding "recent items" never populates with the recent files, folders, or anything.  I did find that the shortcut I was able to pull referenced as if I was attached to user "Neil", which is not my name and I do not know anyone by that name.

The link went to:

C:\Users\Neil\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

I could not find any way to rectify the location.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please check if you have recent items turn "on". If its is "off" please turn it on.

Thanks

I also discovered this issue with Start11 v2 (2.11) on Windows 11 Home 23H2 (build 22631.4317). I have a possible resolution: Change the Target in that shortcut to:

Code: vb
  1. %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
The only drawback is that this change could be overwritten by an update to Start11.
