RESTRICTIONS enumeration (shlobj_core.h) mentions:

REST_NORECENTDOCSHISTORY Value: 0x40000002 If nonzero, the system administrator has disabled recent document history. Applications must disable all MRU lists, such as those that are often displayed on the File menu. Adherence to this setting is mandatory for Windows logo compliance.

The Windows software logo certification program was deprecated in 2019. Is adherence to the REST_NORECENTDOCSHISTORY setting mandatory in any certification program that is still active?

(This setting is also mentioned in the Adhering to System Policy Settings article, which is no longer updated regularly.)
