Mac version -- The Open Recent menu entry under File, and the Open Recent right-click option on the Excel/Word icons in the Mac dock no longer show recent files - they just show "More". Even opening a new file never shows that file. This used to work fine. If "More..." is cliked, all the recent files are there in the list.

The "you" who resurrected the thread is SSamm603
I merely responded to the resurrected thread. Unfortunately, even as moderator I can't close a thread in the Insider forum (I can do it in the other forums, which is an oddity of the forum.

And I think you are confused. My original solution post from 7 months ago ( why has this been resurrected) said a MAC SYSTEM setting change affecting Office 365 apps was the culprit. Desktop & Dock is a MAC System setting. I am on all the latest, including insider beta for Office 365 if that matters - Mac Sonoma 14.2, Word/Office etc. 16.81.
Why are you bringing this up? It's a resolved/dead thread!
You're way behind on updates. Current update is 16.81 231212
You might want to make sure your file system is OK
this doesn't make sense. There is no "desktop and dock" in Settings.
