Since I upgrading to Office 2016, I can not see the recent files of Office applications. I uninstalled the application I installed several times and not working. I have Windows 10 pro installed.

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 :-(

    Hello! So, when you think to finally fix this nasty bug - changing time and location settings is not working for me, nor fixing the Office (as I saw somewhere to be re-installed...). It's June 2016 and I'm going now to downgrade to Office 2010, because of this...

    I can confirm this; my date format is dd-MMM-yy. Office apps (Word, Excel - Office 2016 Prof.) did not display the files from this week in their recent file list. (However, the files show up correctly in the Windows Recent Items list (Windows 7 Enterprise).

    I switched the date format as suggested and the recent files from this week showed up. To be sure, I switched back to dd-MMM-yy and the files were again gone.
