I have File Explorer pinned to the Start 8 Menu.
Whilst with other applications I can hover over them and then select 'Recent' files/tasks on the right I cannot with File Explorer. It only shows the default libraries "Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos".
It used to work in Beta and earlier versions, I've tried to look for earlier versions so that this feature will work again, but the Beta no longer works and earlier versions have been replaced with the latest updates where the bug first emerged.
I thought this bug may be fixed now, but I guess no ones said anything. Just letting you guys know.
I really miss this feature navigating to most recently used folders is really handy.
If this is just me any other possible ways to fix it other than uninstalling and reinstalling? Tried that 
Note: Microsoft renamed Windows Explorer to File Explorer in Windows 8.
