Where are the Jump Lists in Windows 10?

Question

_{Tuesday, September 22, 2015 11:54 PM}

Jump Lists are useful.  The only Jump Lists that I can find in Windows 10 are on applications pinned to the task bar, but what about all the others?

The Start Menu tiles don't show Jump Lists.  After a month, I'm still not seeing any applications in the Most Used list that offers a Jump List.  The "Recently Used" item on the Start Menu seems to be completely missing. The "All Apps" list doesn't offer any Jump Lists. Even Windows Explorer seems to have lost its Recently Used folder.

Is there some way to get my productivity back on track?

Hi,

Yes, we already noticed that, I thought that it can be done by registry modification but unfortunately without success, I monitored this behavior under Windows 7, found following registry entry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ Start_JumpListItems

And I created this value, but unfortunately it changes nothing even I modified this entry.

So I am afraid this cannot be done at the precent stage. In the other hand, we've reported it as a feature request from our side.

Your understanding is highly appreciated.

Regards,

D. Wu

Arnav, the point of the tenforums thread is that the Jump Lists are fixed size and can't be expanded as in previous versions of Windows. My problem is that we've lost the Start Menu Jump Lists feature, which I must have before I'm able to lose my ability to adjust it.

I tried the neowin Registry setting.

• ?Open regedit.exe (Win+R)
• Navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"
• Create a new "Dword (32-bit) value"
• Name it "EnableXamlJumpView"
• Set its value to 1
• Restart PC

It didn't work so I rebooted a second time and still no luck.  I'm using the version of Windows 10 granted by the Windows Update service overtop of my new Windows 8 laptop.  Still, no Start Menu Jump Lists.

I did discover the Recent Items list in Windows Explorer by clicking on Quick Access.  It only shows 20 items which is little help since I'll likely touch a dozen text files or photo files before coming back to an Office document.  Nevertheless, I appreciate your suggestion.

None of the answers helped. There is one thing I did not report. The jump list was on my computer when start was clicked. It is gone now and the tiles are moved to the left side and there are three bars in the upper right corner and when clicked you get the jump list.

Thanks Darrel Smith I got to the three bars on the left on the Windows logo and there is the jump list. Now I can remove some pinned app icons that are crowding the taskbar.

you might find recent here:

    C:\Users\login-name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

jump lists?  never knew.  but right click on the task bar then toolbars then then desktop and you get

a new menu on the taskbar named Desktop.  click it to see and choose from everything on your desktop.

maybe you'd call this a jump list?

under toolbars are options for address and link which did nothing useful.  and one for new toolbars.  select that.

then it will prompt you to select a folder.  that folder name becomes a menu on the task bar, click (it's double arrows) and up pop all the files and folders in that selected menu folder.  is this what you wanted?  

good luck!

oh you mentioned "most used" list.  where do you find that (on win10)?
