Turn On or Off Recent Items and Most Visited Places in Windows 10

Windows 10 keeps track of all the files and folders you access and displays that information in number of places unless you turn this feature off. The goal of this feature is to make it easier for us to access frequently visited items. It'll save a lot of clicks to open the last item, in a case, such as, when an app crash and we have to close it.

For example: When you right click on the Google Chrome icon in the taskbar, you'll see a list of  top ten most visited sites, and few recently closed tabs.
