I have a user whose Recents Folder on the MacBook is no longer populating with recently opened items. It was working fine until about a week ago but is now completely empty. We've attempted to resolve the issue by removing Recents from the sidebar and adding it back, as well as rebuilding the spotlight by adding and removing the Macintosh Drive from Spotlight Privacy. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
