Ltek Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Used several version of Paint.net over the last year or so -- I'm a casual user so only use it once a month or so. None of the versions have ever populated 'Recent' files ( File -> Open Recent)? Registry doesn't look like it has any keys for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 That's odd. You should have registry keys for: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\paint.net\ File/MostRecent/Path0 .. 9 File/MostRecent/Thumbnail0 .. 9 File/MostRecent/ThumbnailDpi0 .. 9 Looking at the key Updates/LastCheckTimeUtc with value 637777865591369352, it seems that the last time you used this version and it did an update check was 2022-01-14 19:49:19 Did you once have the installer version of paint.net, which uses the Registry, but since then have used only the portable version, which does not use the registry?

Rick Brewster Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 What version of Paint.NET are you on though? Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Make sure you are installing version 5.0.13. Looking at your registry keys, your present version seems well out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ltek Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 (edited) I've been on 5.0.13 ... if I remember correctly, it prompted me to update and I was only 1 release back atthat point also. The Windows add/remove panel shows it was installed 3-11-2024 reinstalling now Edited April 25 by Ltek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
