Worked for me.
I had the same problem when I relocated my Dev folder to a new drive. I couldn’t understand why those projects in the Dev folder I relocated no longer showed up in the Launcher under My Projects. The solution was just to make another Unreal Engine 5 project in the same Dev folder as my other projects and once I exited the new project, all my other projects reappeared.

Just to say I had the same issue, the above way of editing the GameUserSettings.ini didn’t work for me, but this method did. Thanks!
This is the solution because “CreatedProjectPaths” tells the launcher what folder to look for your projects in.
Also, need to remember to navigate to that folder in Windows Explorer to Click “View” and put checkmark in “Hidden items” otherwise you won’t see the hidden folders.
And remember to uncheck “Hidden items” when you’re done editing and saving the GameUserSettings.ini file.
There really should be an option to add a list of folders to look for projects in then this problem wouldn’t exist.
I have the same issue and no matter what i write unt the GameUserSettings, the projects are still missing, i’ve tried to create a new preject in any unreal version but they also don’t show up.
On the left side of the engine launch button click on the drop-down button → Options → Enable ‘Templates &Features’ → Apply
Done.
Hi
For all that still don’t see the projects under “recent projects” in the project browser either due to moving projects to another folder/drive for what ever reason.
Here is the fix I found.
C:\Users(user)\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.1\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor
edit EditorSettings.ini
Look for ‘CreatedProjectPaths=’
Update the path to your new location.
It should now show all your projects in the recent project tab when you relaunch the editor.

This worked for me after changing the “CreatedProjectPaths=” in the
C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.1\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor
since I moved the location.
OMG. Finally. The right answer. Thanks!
