Whenever I open Indesign 2023, v18.1 the Home screen does not display the names and thumbnails of the recent files made.

What should I do to solve this issue?

I tried uninstalling and re-installing but I still encounter this problem.

I have set my recent file preferences like this.

I am having the same problem. InDesign suddenty decided to stop showing my recent items on the home screen. I've tried restarting. Can someone who actually works for Adobe please look into this issue and respond?

Hello @briem91802965,

We understand that technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing more details, like the exact version of the OS/InDesign, whether this started after a recent update, whether it happens with all files, and whether all files are stored in the same location so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Photoshop issues will need to be posted in the appropriate forum. Each application has its own management and its own issues. Here's the one you want:

I would try restoring your InDesign preferences and caches. Here's how:

Just tried all the methods given there

Rebuilding the preference files by holding ctrl+shift+alt during startup
Manually removing 'InDesign SavedData' and 'InDesign Defaults'

Rebuilding the cache files by removing folders here

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign

Still facing the same issue.

Go to Preferences > File Handling. Check to make sure number of Recent Items to Display is not 0.

Make sure Always Save Preview Images with Document is checked.

Yes. These options have been like that already by default since I reset preferences and cleared cache. They are in accordance with enabling of thumbnail preview in homescreen.
