Is there any news about this? I'm missing the recent files/activity feature here as well. Using version 83.4.152 on Windows 10.

edit: Why is this thread marked as solved? I don't see any solution.

@bartgrefte  Sorry, I don't know what the solution is....it just started working again for me one day...long after I had tried everything the Support dudes suggested and had no luck.

Hey @bartgrefte, thanks for nudging us and sorry to hear that you're also having trouble with this. 

Could you let me know if you've tried rebooting your computer or/and reinstalling the desktop app?

Thanks in advance!

Just reïnstalled it and added some files for testing. Now I do see activity, but only for a short time. It's almost like the history get's deleted the second the window closes. Until a while back, the history was kept, no matter how old the notifications were.
