Win11 File Explorer address bar dropdown list shows only 5 items despite having more history
When you click the drop-down arrow in the File Explorer address bar, only the five most recently visited folders are displayed, even if the history is set to save more entries.
The full list is not displayed, which makes it more difficult to quickly navigate to previously visited locations.
Clearing the history or restarting File Explorer does not restore the full list.

In the Folder Options window, under the General tab, click Clear next to Clear File Explorer history.
The limited number of items shown in the File Explorer address bar dropdown appears to be a design choice in Windows 11, not a bug that can be easily fixed.
