I’m using the latest PMC v5.4.1. I’ve set my PMC to use only one instance at a time on my standalone Windows 11 PC. However, I’m encountering a problem where my ‘Recent Files’ (located under the File Menu) is always empty. No matter how many PMC files I open and close, it never populates. This is happening even though I’m the admin of this current Windows PC.

Please help.
