'How do I stop visual studio 2022 and 2019 from sharing recent projects list
When visual studio starts it shows a recents list (and has one on the file menu).
Our team has VS2022 and VS2019 installed in parallel because we're migrating some solutions to .net 6 and want to leave the legacy projects maintainable on their own branches until we can release the migrated solution.
Unfortunately they show the same recent list which means that 2019 solutions are in the 2022 list and 2022 solutions are appearing in the 2019 list.
How can I stop them sharing the recents list?

I tried the suggestion from this Microsoft forum, but removing a project from recent list syncs the change on both VS versions. At first I thought it worked but after several seconds, up to a minute, the change is synced.
This post suggest to use a plugin for customizing the Start page of Visual Studio, but it is only for 2019 and not updated since 2019, I choose not to try it, but can be useful to someone.
There is also an option to create a custom Start page, but this seems overly complicated for me.
I did not found the issue logged in https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/.
