Hi folks - thanks for those who worked with our CSS folks to help us find the issue (we think that it's a date handling bug - you can confirm by temporarily setting your regional settings to the US style of ‘MM/DD/yy.’)

We're working on a fix for this - as per usual I can't give you an exact date but it should go out in one of the next couple of monthly updates. 

Sorry for the inconvenience here - we are a global company and we have a large number of international tests as well as extensive internal & global dogfood so no idea how we missed this one :-(

    I refer to the new files I've worked. The list of recent files of Word, Excel appears in blank. For example, if I create a new file in excel and it saved; when I go to open the program again does not appear that file in recent files. 

    I called to Microsoft and they say that I have to wait for an Windows update to repair that issue. I have more than 15 days waiting, and I follow with the same problem. 

    Any idea?
