You can try force Quit Finder frim the >Forece Quit>Relaunch Finder
How to force an app to quit on your Mac - Apple Support
See if there is anything here:
Recent files in recent folder isn't appea… - Apple Community
"Recents" folder in Finder is empty - Apple Community
To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
