We have multiple computers running Revit 2019.1, where the recent files list (both home screen and file menu) are not updating the projects after applying the patch. It worked great on 2019 prior to the .1 patch. We don't use worksets on our projects, so this is not a central file vs. local file issue.
Any ideas for fixes are appreciated!

Any news on this issue from Autodesk? Can they confirm they are intending to issue a fix for this issue? Not entirely sure why it was changed as it used to work perfectly prior to updates.
I have the same issue. The .ini file is updating fine, but my recent files list is empty. The splash menu is inconsistent - sometimes it shows recent files, sometimes sample files. Screenshot attached.
Please try the workarounds mentioned in this article: and let me know if this helps!

Many thanks for the response.
The suggested workaround of editing the .ini file appears to work, however this is not a realistic solution to the problem and only appears to work until the list is full again (at which point I assume we would have to edit the .ini file again).
We currently run 8 Revit workstations in the office, and as such this is not a practical solution as the problem is common across all of the workstations. I appreciate that the suggestion is simply a workaround, but can you please confirm when a permanent solution to this issue is likely to be rolled out?
As office policy we do not allow users to manually edit files such as .ini files (not sure of many practices / IT departments that would allow this).

I had issues updating stemming from the recent files list. It may or may not have had anything to do with the original installation. There are two locations that have recent files lists that needed to be deleted. See this thread for more details:

Yes, true. I just reached that point. Just a bit annoying. Hopefully, an update will fix it.
The ini fix works for a while and as already high lighted it later fails, I was hoping the January 2019.2 update might fix this but it doesn't appear to have addressed this issue.
Sorry for the long delay. The problem went away at some point - perhaps 2.1 solved it, maybe it's some sort of a stack structure issue which just took several iterations to work out, but it's working fine now, with no action on my part. Thanks for your help! Problem solved.
@philip_simon Thanks for getting back to us!
