Here are the steps that you can try:

1. Open the Start Menu, then type regedit in the search line and press enter.
2. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes
3. In regedit, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
A) In the right pane of Explorer, right click on a empty space, click on New and DWORD (32-bit), type MaxRecentDocs, and press Enter.
B) In the right pane, double click on MaxRecentDocs.
C) Select (dot) Decimal, type in the maximum number of recent items you want to display, and click on OK.
4. Close regedit.
