I've recently noticed that PDFs stopped appearing in my Recent Files after saving them. They still show up when I open them, and the same goes for other file types that I save. It's just PDFs that are missing. I'm running Windows 11, and I've checked that the option for Recent Files is enabled. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I'm happy to provide more details if needed. Thanks!

Are you asking about Recent Files in the Start Menu or in File Explorer? Make sure the option is enabled under Settings > Personalization > Start.
Just a heads up, "Recent Files" typically refers to files you’ve opened, not necessarily ones you created. They should show up after you've opened them following the save, but it seems like there’s more going on since they used to appear right after saving.
That’s interesting, but this is a recent issue. For the last couple of years, my PDFs would show right after saving. And in the same locations, saved images still show in Recent Files, unlike the PDFs.
I'm talking about File Explorer. The setting is definitely turned on there. The Start Menu part isn't my focus right now.
