Windows Central Question
I let my friend use my laptop today (windows 10) for about half an hour while I was upstairs. Later when he had gone home, I went on to "recent files" in file explorer to continue writing a document I had been working on. However, I discovered that there were no files there (in "recent files")! Suspicious, I thought. Had my friend accessed some files he shouldn't have, and cleared the "recent files" list in order to cover his tracks?
So my question is: How can I tell what applications or files were accessed on my computer over the last few hours/days? A secondary but less important question: Is there any way this "recent files" list could have been empty without having been deleted/cleared? I have accessed files since, and they showed up here. I have not, however, turned off my laptop, if that's relevant.
I'd much appreciate your help here from a personal standpoint, as I'm sure you understand!
