Windows 10: How to Increase number of Recent Folders and Workspaces

Hi - I'm a developer that needs to work in different workspaces using Visual Studio Code.Currently there are only 8 items for the Recent Folders and Workspaces + Pinned and this is not enough for our need.I know that I can increase the number of jump items using registry, but that doesn't increase the number of Recent Folders and Workspaces + Pinned. Please see the screenshot below for reference.[!Desktop screenshot]https://ibb.co/xmwjLWz I'm not why I can't upload image here nowThe user experience can be greatly improved by allowing users to increase the number of Recent Folders and

Increase number of recent folders in quick access

Is there a way to increase number of recent folders in quick access?

Currently I can see 30, but it would be extremely helpful to increase this number due to the number of folder I access daily.

Thank you in advance for your response.

 

Increase number of recent folders in quick access

I want to increase the number of items displayed i n recent folders

 

How to increase the number of items shown in "Recent Folders" folder in Windows 10, or "Recent Items" folder.

So I wanted a Desktop shortcut and an entry in Quick Access in any Explorer folder's sidebar to let me see a good sized list of recent folder I had opened.

For the 1st I followed these instructions:

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/17486-create-recent-folders-shortcut-windows-10-a.html

Nice. NOTE: You can pin that to the Taskbar or Startmenu if desired.

For the 2nd I followed these instructions:

https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/...ces-navigation-pane-windows-10-file-explorer/

And followed thru to pin that to Quick Access.

(After opening I add a column for "Date Accessed" and sort it based on that.)

BUT: the numer items listed in the resulting Quick Access folder seems capped at an odd arbitrary 33 items.

I wanted to increase that to 50, just to have a longer historical list of folders I had opened in the recent past.

SOOOO.... I Googled up these instructions for a small registry hack:

https://www.howtogeek.com/267705/how-to-increase-the-number-of-jump-list-items-in-windows-10/

which adds a registry entry "JumpListItems_Maximum" in the appropriate place in the registry to set the legth of Widows' "Jump Lists." In my case I set the decimal value to 50, then used File,
Exit to properly close RegEdit. The article says that should instantly increase the number of "Recent" type listings to 50.

I closed all open "Recent Folders" folders I had opened earlier, then I opened some new folders and then tried both the Desktop shortcut and the Quick Access link, HOWEVER, the number of items in both is still capped at 33.

Has that capability be removed or is there some other way to do what I am trying to do?

NOTE: I can also go to C:\Users\<my userame>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent (I created a desktop shortcut to that) then put kind=folder in the Search box.

THAT list seems capped at 36 long. Weird. Still a cap but slightly longer.

This all seems arbitrary, and capped at 33 and 36, respectively.

Help me understand how those folders work, if there really is any way to control their length, and why that Jump List length Registry hack no longer works.

THANKS.
