I was tired of waiting. So I created a new Admin user account transferred all my stuff. It was PITA to do but now it's been 2 days and everything is working perfectly 
If you do that, do you then just wipe the original admin account or do you remove as much data as you can from it and leave it dormant? As it was the original 'top level' admin account, does is need to be kept on the machine? I'm tempted to do a clean install as I have very fast FTTP broadband and it would take less than a day to get everything back onto it from iCloud and the third party audio plug-in presets and sound libraries I use with Logic. And most of that would take care of itself without me having to sit there to manage the downloads. And if you create a new admin account or do a clean install, do all your Time Machine back-ups become useless, as theyre no longer the history of the new account?I was tired of waiting.

I Just made a new admin account and once everything was transferred through a shared folder, I deleted the old one. As for Time Machine I don't use it but obviously that could be a problem unless you use the migration assistant but then the"recent doc" problem might reappear. I sure hope the new update will deal with this problem but I just couldn't wait.
Sadly, no fix at all with 14.7.2 as far as I can see. All the same problems. Very disappointing.
Yes, I immediatelt emailed my dedicated support contact, so will see if he responds today. If this goes beyong the weekend, I think I will just do a clean install. Something about setting up a second user account make me nervous.
I have a very busy couple of days ahead, so will not be trying it until probably Tueday, but wanted to share this from a poster called 'FirstPost' on LogicProHelp.com as it may be the solution we have been waiting for.
Hello, this was the first match I found confirming I wasn't the only one who met with problems upgrading from 13.7..1 to 14.7.1. I'm not even a Logic Pro user, but I thought it might help to share the solution I've found out at last. If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Sequoia, you can fix the missing recent items (and several other weird issues) resetting your user keychain. I did and everything works now. I had only to re-enter Gmail accounts passwords. Of course you must have a backup...

As the Apple support article is a bit laconic IMHO, I followed this link to reset my keychain:
https://macpaw.com/how-to/reset-keychain-mac
The above article is sponsored but basically reliable. Just one caveat about toggling off iCloud Keychain. As Jeff Johnson (the developr of StopTheMadness) reports
By the way, toggling off "Sync this Mac" caused System Settings to hang and eventually crash the preference pane
That's what happened to me too, but following onscreen directions I could easily update my ID Apple settings (this process was not responding).
As a last step I had to restart into secure boot to have recent items back in place.
Hope it helps. I was on the verge of erasing and install from scratch...

To confirm, I just updated to 14.7.2 and updated iWork apps.
Pages/Numbers still has blank recents and longer loading files time.
Affinity apps also updated and recent items show, but don’t open files.
It’s not the end of the world, just annoying.
Don’t want to start messing with keychain files etc tbh.

This is the article from LogicProHelp that Rob mentioned:

In this article one user mentions: "... Would assume there is a 14.7.3 in the works containing all the non-security related fixes as have hear in multiple places they are working on fixes causes by 14.7.1 not just for Logic but a number of other unrelated applications have been impacted as well."
I also don't want to mess with keychain - I have lots of notes & passwords stored over the years ...
Come on Apple, give us a fix for Christmas!
No Recents Showing

Fair enough. But if it's on iCloud, and probably on your iPhone, iPad or whatever else you have from Apple, it's probably low-risk that you woudn't be able to get everything back. Another person on that thread has also just tried it and confirmed it workss, so I feel comfortable risking it when I next have a couple of hours to spare.This is the article from LogicProHelp that Rob mentioned:

Sorry for the slow respnse. I think so. But I'm no expert on keychains. But if you stop syncing your keychain with iCloud before resetting it, and then turn the sync back on again, all your passwords should return. I haven't had to re-enter webite passwords or serial number for apps etc. so far, so i'm guessing everything in your keychain is backed up in iCloud. Happy to stand corrected if this is not the case. I made a copy of my keychain folder before I started, just to be on the safe side, but didn't need it.
i'd just like to chip in and say i had the same problem and i reset my keychain as outlined in post 38 using this link - https://macpaw.com/how-to/reset-keychain-mac
and it solved the slow opening times AND the unpopulated recents list!
amazing, thank you Rob!
