When working via classic Remote Desktop a user can see the history of recently accessed files and folders , for example, in File Explorer view. That is because Windows creates shortcuts in the %username%\Recent folder. However, when working with RemoteApps such shortcuts are simply not created and so far I have not found a way to make it happen, even with the latest Windows Server 2022, with Explorer.exe published as a RemoteApp. This is a serious damage to user productivity and I hope that Microsoft can offer a solution, or even a third party utility. Thank you in advance

Need help from microsoft for this, it's really frustating that with Remote App recent file/folder history does not work.
Hello @Shlomo Vinishsky How about enabling Windows built-in File History feature ? It is just under Control Panel / System and Security. Once File History is enabled, it will automatically back up your files and you can view previous versions of your files.
