Question

The list of recent files and pinned files on one of my Excel 365 installations was outdated and would not keep track of new files I opened.

I reset the list (first set to zero in Options) then reset cancelling all recents.

Now it works locally and sporadically (most of the times, if I open a file and then close it it doesn't remain in the recent list).

And it doesn't synch with the other installations of Office 365 on my laptop (I am logged in).

I re-installed office already.

How do I reset/resync ?

Thank you in advance!!!

Let us navigate to the following locations and clear all the files present it:

%AppData%MicrosoftWindowsRecentCustomDestinations

And

%AppData%MicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinations.

Let us clear all the contents from the above locations.

Now unpin Excel from Taskbar and Start Menu.

Browse to C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office 15ClentX86 or ClientX64RootOffice15.

Right click on Excel.exe and pin it to Taskbar and Start Menu.

Now verify if the Recent list works after you save the files.

Hope this suggestion is helps.
