Dev channel update to 79.0.309.11 is live
Drew1903 Actually, your screenshots show part of what I mean. Observe how the jumplists are different on the start menu and on the taskbar. This is because they are not the same shortcut. Only the one in the taskbar shows the "right" jumplist. You can't get the same shortcut to behave correctly on both start menu and taskbar. If you pin the one from the taskbar to start, it shows a blank tile titled "W~MSEdgeDev.UserData.Default". If you pin the one from the start menu to the taskbar, then any windows you launch from it will spawn a new icon on the taskbar instead of being assigned to the icon you just launched from.

Fair enough, Adrian. I believe, by design & intent, they are not the same. This you, eve, note & say yourself. But, each doing & offering what they do seems ok to me or IMHO. I don't see or find much different than the familiar or to what would be expected, traditionally. Admittedly, I may be the wrong person as I hardly ever turn to Start for anything... I'm more concerned with having everything copacetic at the taskbar & or elsewhere. I have preferred using the Applications window since sometime back in the early days of Win7.
Cheers,
Drew

I think they should be, there is no reason why jumplist of the same program (Edge insider browser) should be different in start menu and taskbar, doesn't make sense..

Drew1903 I disagree, I can't imagine this being intended and this behavior is inconsistent with every other program or app out there (Chrome Beta/Dev/Canary builds may have these problems as well, I don't know). Not to mention they used to be the same until about a month ago when this broke (just in time for the last beta release).

I agree with you too, I think this is an issue worth fixing

Alright. I admit this is the first I have heard that this "broke" recently. I don't notice any change over the duration. I'm sure I must be 'missing' something and that you must be right that something is amiss.
Cheers,
