Premiere Pro does not show newly created project in the recent project page

If i create a new project, work on it and then close premiere pro, the next time when i open premiere pro, that particular project is not shown in the home page. Instead i would have to click "open project", navigate to the project file and open it manually. But once this is done, it will show up in the recent prjects home page. Has been facing this only recently though.

I am in Premiere Pro version 25.1.0 (Build 73), Windows 11 version 24H2 (Build 26100.3323)

Is this a known issue? can someone help?

Thank you in advance
