One of the best features of Windows 10 was that you could find the list of recent and pinned files for an app pinned to the taskbar. Windows 11 still has the feature but it's turned off as default and the setting is a little difficult to find.

You would think it would be in Taskbar Settings, but because it's been combined with other settings, it's now in Start Menu settings.
