Hello! I reinstalled Windows two days ago, so I needed to reinstall Classic Shell. I have the setting enabled for the main Start menu to show frequently used programs, but it's blank. I've been using the computer for two days, so it should have some data by now to populate the frequent programs. What am I missing?

I'm on Windows 10 Enterprise x64, Classic Shell 4.2.5.

I have Notepad++ pinned, that's why it's there.

The Windows 10 setting for it also needs to be on as the frequently used apps data is collected by Windows. Press Win+i to open Settings app -> Personalization -> Start and turn on "Show most used apps". Apps opened after doing this will show up in the Frequent list. Or you can switch to the "Recent" list which is maintained by Classic Start Menu.
