I also have the same problem, however I have noticed that my Admin. user account "Recent Items" area does update properly. Only my standard user accts. don't update the Recent Items area. I've found that by going to the folder identified by Pengalo above (C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent) my Admin. user ID has a "Recent Items" file while my other user ID's don't have this file. So that's the issue. The question is how do we correct it? I could copy the file from Admin. and paste it in one of the user ID's to see if that helps but I think there should also be some Registry changes required to get it to be used properly.
