I have Classic Shell 4.3.0, in Win 10 Pro. It has been working fine for a few years. But recently, the "recent programs" section is empty.

The "Start Menu Style" in Settings is "Classic with two columns"

Previously, when I clicked "Start", I could see, from top to bottom in left column:

- 4 pinned programs
- About 6 recently used programs
- "Programs"
- "Apps"

Now, there's an empty gap between the pinned programs and "Programs". As a result the height of the Start menu is clearly less than normal.

I would be grateful for advice on how to restore the recently used programs.

Thanks.

Recent items and jumplists seem to be tied to one another in CSM and Win 10 Start settings.

I would check that jumplist setting on Windows 10 Personalize Start settings
and CSM jumplist settings, and Recent programs settings are enabled correctly.

@juniper7, Your screenshot for "Main Menu" tab shows "Recent Progams" selected.

But I had "Frequent programs" selected.

When I reversed these two selections, I got my previous Start menu back. All very mysterious - I don't think I've changed these options for years.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

I guess sometime recently your settings got reset somehow?

The "Frequent programs" is the default setting.
For me, I never liked it so I changed it at some point.
