Turn Off Recent Items and Frequent Places in Windows 10

Whenever you open File Explorer using Windows Key + E shortcut keys, you will be taken to Quick Access window where you can view all your recently visited or opened files and folders. For some of the users, this feature is quite helpful, but this becomes an issue for their privacy for others. If you use your computer with other family members or friends then whatever files or folders you visit will be saved as history in Quick Acess, and anyone with the access to the PC can easily see what files or folders you have visited recently.

Your recent items and frequent places are stored in the following location:

%APPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsRecent Items
%APPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinations
%APPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsRecentCustomDestinations

On the other hand, you can completely turn off recent items and frequent places which would solve the problem of privacy for many users. Anyway, without wasting any time, let’s see How to Turn Off Recent Items and Frequent Places in Windows 10 with the help of the below-listed tutorial.
