Mark, You can try to disable running of scripts from your browser settings and then set StartPage as default. Do, let me know what happens on doing these steps

Hello Mark, For setting Startup page, you can go to View menu >> Start Page. Once the start page is opened, you will see a checkbox in bottom left most corner with text 'Show Page on Start Up', and you are done.

Mark Tabor, It seems that Visual Studio inappropriately uses the settings for Windows Explorer which sets weather recent document history is shown. If you turn off the recent documents history for Windows Explorer, you effectively turn it off for Visual Studio as well. Personally, I think it is a mistake for Microsoft to be doing this, however they have indicated that they will not be doing anything about this issue. Check the following registry key and make sure the setting is 0. If you are being affected by this particular problem, that may get your recent projects list back: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000000 Complete discussion: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8886195e-0ac2-4712-8543-4a59a7cee93b/recent-projects-list-on-start-page-is-not-being-populated?forum=vbide
