I'm unable to view recent items to show up in windows explorer. I cant understand why this is happening once I upgraded to win11. This always worked in win10. How can I get recent items to show up in windows explorer?

That was the solution, appreciate that big time! But I dont want to see "recommended" in the start menu which is a side effect of enabling recent files in the settings. Is there a way to remove recommended without disabling recent files?

you can use Chris Titus powershell tool to disable Recommended in start menu (its just a powershell gui, no installation)

Removing Bloatware or unwanted apps will not make your computer run any faster.
You can right click the taskbar and choose Task Manager/Startup apps.
You can Remove or Disable any apps you don't want to start with Windows.

You can use this Debloater scipt to remove OEM bloatware or other apps you don't want.
