Not sure about this however, it could be because the taskbar jump list has limited space.
If Steam's default menu items fill it up, there's no room to show your recent games.
Try this:

1) Open Steam and go to Settings.

2) Select the Interface tab.

3) Click the "Set Taskbar Preferences" button .

4) In the window that opens, uncheck some of the options you don't need. By freeing up space, you allow your recent games to appear in the list.

Hopefully this fixes the issue.

If you want to increase the number of items in your taskbar jumplist it requires a registry key change to do so. Otherwise you have to reduce the amount of items you're listing in the jump list to accomodate the existing limit

This unfortunately doesn't work. No games appear on my right-click menu. Thank you though.

Yes and the most common reaons is because people have too many items in their jump list. Meaning you can either reduce the amount of stuff in the jump list, or increase it so it can accomodate the recently played items.

You need to enable Recent items in windows taskbar.

Recent items in the taskbar jumplist are tied to this setting:

Settings > Personalization > Start > "Show recommended files in Start, recent files in File Explorer, and items in Jump Lists"

So if you turned that off, Steam's jumplist menu doesn't show any recent games anymore.

However, as an alternative:
Right-clicking on the Steam tray icon always shows your recently played games.

This was it!
I wish I could only enable this specifically for the Steam tab though. Don't like it on everything else, including the start menu
