    I think they really fix the taskbar issue because I found a solution to it. 

    It's back.

     

    How I get it back (Work on Chrome as well):

    1. Unpin the program if you pin it on the taskbar

    2. Pin the shortcut from start menu

    I believe that the start menu icon that pin on taskbar isn't the program

    3. Open Setting, go to Personalisation and Start section

    4. Toggle Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar and in File Explorer Quick Access repeatedly, it may lag when turning off

    5. Check whether the Tasks came back or not, if not try again? or submit another bug report

    6. If it works unpin the start menu shortcut from the taskbar and pin the program on the taskbar if you want

     

    I used this method before in previous version but it didn't work. Now that it works I believe the Devs had fix some weird bug between the start menu shortcut and the program itself.

you're right, it has nothing to do with that Windows settings.

however it should be fixed in the future Dev updates since it's already fixed in Canary, meaning that it will eventually come to the Dev and Beta too but with a delay 🙂

Btw DarrenMH filled a bug report for it.

      Hi, try updating your Edge dev. if it's bothering you too much just switch to Canary for now. it doesn't have the problem. i hope this problem is not another side effect of A/B testing..

      Hi Franklin,

      I cannot repro what you mention. Dev Build 78.0.276.2 & the jumplist is there & was in prior Builds, as well.



      Cheers,
      Drew
