How do I get my recent documents back in Word

Bummer! You leave your computer and come back and all your past work is gone! Here strikes the mystery “Office update that only happens when you go away for 5 minutes.

Happened to me today and I took to the internet to let you know the simple fix!

You probably got logged out of your Office account.

  • Log back in.
  • Open Word
  • Go to “File” in the top left
  • Go down to “Account”
  • Log back into your Office 365 account.
  • Your recent items should return. If not…not sure I can help. I’ve been there, it’s a sad thing that happened.

If you have other issues you need help with, let me know! Glad to help.
