Hello, 

On 9/30 I opened the latest version of Photoshop to my surprise when the Home Tab opened my recent history of edited photos is gone the programs is only showing 6 of the  60+ that I have worked on in the past 3 or 4 months. This is a massive inconvenience Adobe. How do i get my recent history back and why did it happen?

 

Best, 

Charles

    Hello Anshul, 

    I’m using Photoshop 27.10 it was updated 21 days ago see auto update see screenshot. Please note I have not touched the process. I can tell you when manually updated by me the recent history was always retained. So what's strange is if an updated did not occur all of the sudden what blew out the recent history home screen? I was working in PS on 9/27 opened the program on 9/30 recent history was gone. 

    Under file open recent only a short list of recent is showing along with some old stuff from long time ago same as home screen

    Hi @metropolics,

    Thanks for reporting this. I understand how inconvenient it is to lose months of recent-file history from the Home screen suddenly.

    Could you please check a few things for us:

    • Go to File > Open Recent. Do your older files still appear there, or does it also show only the same few files?

    • Did this happen immediately after Photoshop updated? If so, which version were you using before, and what version are you on now?

    • In the Creative Cloud desktop app, go to Preferences > Apps > Photoshop > Advanced options and confirm whether "Import previous settings and preferences" is checked/ enabled, as shown in the screenshot.

    Share what you find, and we’ll be happy to investigate further.

    Best,
    Anshul Saini
