This has been very frustrating as you well know. If your problem was like mine you would see multiple word and excel documents showing up as accessed all at the same time and date in recents when those documents had not been touched for some time. As I have described previously I tried all the suggestions and none worked. Just yesterday I tried something new and it seems to help the problem at leaast for the last 2 days. I went to Settings, Personalization, Start. In Start you will see Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists and File Explorer. Mine was on. I turned it off and looked at File Exploreer and every Recent and quick access was gone. I went back to Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists and File Explorer and turned it on. My file explorer was empty but as I accessed documents all day yesterday and today it appears they are back to normal. Don't know if this is the solution or just dumb luck but so far so good.
