How to Increase number of Recent Folders and Workspaces

Hi - I'm a developer that needs to work in different workspaces using Visual Studio Code.

Currently there are only 8 items for the Recent Folders and Workspaces + Pinned and this is not enough for our need.

I know that I can increase the number of jump items using registry, but that doesn't increase the number of Recent Folders and Workspaces + Pinned. Please see the screenshot below for reference.

The user experience can be greatly improved by allowing users to increase the number of Recent Folders and Workspaces.

Please help look into it.

Thank you for your attention!

Hello Henry M.,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Microsoft Answers Community.

Currently, there is no supported way to change the number of entries shown in the taskbar's "recent" section.

Microsoft attaches great importance to user experience, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the Feedback Hub, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.

Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me. More votes will lead to more visibility and higher priority to the development team.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
