3. Using Taskbar:

Windows 11’s taskbar has an option to maintain the recently opened list for each app. For example, if you want to see the recently opened documents, right-click on the word app in the taskbar and it shows the list of all the documents recently opened.

Similarly, if you right-click on the browser app, it will show the recently opened links in the browser. This way, you will be able to keep track of the website you recently opened.

4. Using Start Menu: 

You can also use the start menu to view the recent list. Open the Start menu and click the More button available in the Recommended section to view recent items. This will show you the recently opened items from different applications.  You will see the project path and the time since you accessed the file. This option will not work if you have hidden the Recommendations list in the Start menu. This will also not work if the Recommendations section is disabled in your Windows 11.

5. Third-Party Apps:

There are many third-party apps available to check the recently opened files and one of them is RecentFilesView by Nirsoft. It is a free tool that does not require any installation and you can easily run it and it shows the list of all the files and apps opened recently.
