P: "Open Recent" list does not always show the most recent file

@dmohr

still the same problem in 2021 on Photoshop cc on PC...Why it only shows other files, but not the last one worked on...VERY frustrating...

Easiest way is test in a new admin account: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/basic-trouble-shooting-steps.html#permissions

Thx for your reponse.  User Permissions in Win 10 Pro or in PS CS6?  How do I change the "user permissions" to get back to functionality?

If it worked prior to the update, I suspect something off with user permissions.

Using PS CS6. Win 10 Pro. Problem happened after upgraded to Win 10 Pro from Win 7 Pro, but don't know if it is related.  When I click on "Clear Recent Files", the opportunity to click on "Open Recent" disappears.  If I then restart PS, the old list comes back.  If I keep PS open new files will go into Recent list.  If I close & reopen PS the old list comes back.  If I change Pref to  0 for history, Recent Files disappears. If I close & reopen PS, I'm back to the 10 old files.  If I set Pref to 30 for history, I then see 30 old files, not the latest ones I had open.  If I close & reopen PS, I'm back to the list of 10 old files!!  When will Adobe fix this??
BTW, if I try to open PS Help Center I get msg, "There was an error launching the default browser.  You may need to re-install the application and the Help component"

This does NOT work

Thank you David, updating now!

Howdy Diego,

Update to 2015.1.2 and the problem should be solved.

Thanks,
