The app must be launched from the Start menu, Programs or a sub-folder. If you're invoking the app in other ways (e.g. via the debugger, from File Explorer, etc) it will not end up in the MRU.
In other words, placement in the shell's Start menu's MRU is dependent on the app being launched from the shell itself.
