    "Frequent" and "attached" disappear from Explorer Icon


    Hello,
    I got this problem today. Normally when right clicking on the "explorer" icon it shows shortcuts of folders that I added as well as frequently visited folders.
    But now it shows nothing but two options: "Windows explorer" and "detach the program".
    I tried to move new folders in but nothing was changed.
    Please, what is my problem? How could I solve it?
    Thank you!

    Problem solved!

    Jump Lists - Reset and Clear All Items

    Delete everything in these two folders:

    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations

    And then you can make new shortcuts as you want!
