Documents showing in recent when not opened

I have noticed that every time I open file explorer, the recent list shows a random 10 documents which are stored on onedrive that I haven't accessed (on this or any other device). I am the only one with access to the device and the onedrive folder.

    Maybe Copilot is snooping around, and Explorer just caught it red-handed?

    I have the same issue and thought I had been hacked....

    Could it be attributable that One Drive is backing up each snd every file on Startup (whether or not the user is actually accessing the file) so that the file is automatically being listed ad "recently accessed:? If so, how foes pne stop the backup of every file on Windows start'up -- wouldnt that solve the problem??

    a month later and still not fixed. Interesting I have a work one drive account and I don't have this problem. Why do we have the sub-par version that doesn't work right?

    I have tried unticking 'Show files from office.com' and pressing OK, but the problem remains the same.
