"Recent" and "Recent Workspaces" not listed in the taskbar.
I'm a software engineer in Hawaii w/8 yrs exp that builds small projects and games in JavaScript.
I also respond to student career interviews and I am fairly active on Quora. If you're just starting out and want to chat, reach out. I've been there before and I wish I had someone in the industry to chat with.
I ran into this issue because I noticed that this handy feature is where you can right-click VSCode on your taskbar and access pinned and recently accessed workspaces.
Then I realized that on one of my computers, this feature was not available so I googled it and found this GitHub Issue on the Microsoft/GitHub repo:
"Recent" and "Recent Workspaces" not listed in the taskbar. #63197
The issue was unfortunately closed without a solution so I thought about it and remembered that there was a Windows setting for disabling the "Recently opened items" in File Explorer.
Turns out, this feature disables the Windows "pin" feature when turned off.
