Opened projects not store in Open Recent

Software
1

When im closing Kicad, Opened Projects not saves in Project Files, so almost always its empty. And it is not always being added to Open Recent, so every time i should search for recently opened manually. Sometimes it works as it should, but when im restaring computer it sucks. Reinstalling Kicad with Revo uninstaller not helped

Post OS platform and KiCad version information.

I’ve had the same problem ever since 7 was available. I still haven’t checked to see if has ever been reported.
I know a project is not saved overnight, but I think it disappears after Kicad has been off for a while. I’m still trying to nail down the exact behavior.

Problem not solved still.
Reinstalling Windows not helped, so this is what I found:
Seems to be that problem not in Windows regs of files, but in project files.
If your project not stores in opened recent try to delete fp-info-cache from project folder.
I deleted every file from all the projects and this helped a bit.
Still projects are not storing if you will not make any changes.

Seems to be .kicad_prl files are also important to delete and let the Kicad reconfig them again

Also no. Something in project files dont let Kicad to store project in Open Recent and Project Files. SHT
Now Kicad cant even store settings. Changing shematic theme on wDark on saves on next Kicad lauch. Fantastic
