Hi nik1965,


Sometimes an update to macOS fails to carry forward the settings here:

System Preferences > General > Recent items



Reset the number and it will begin to repopulate.


Regards,

Ian.

It says Big Sur is up to date, however its just not working right. slow as if 3rd party installation. I also have an older MacBook Pro that has been retired due to no operating system and I don't remember the password for firmware so I can't install a downloaded system El Capitan. I believe my newer MacBook Air is some of the MB Pro's information.
