When right click on the program on taskbar, the tasks list is not shown. I reinstalled Microsoft Edge Dev but the browsing data is not clear, the issue still persist.
Before a certain update that I forgot, it used to be there but after the update I accidentally unpin and repin the tasks is gone.
EDIT: I checked others post seem some of them had same issue as me.
Taskbar Tasks is missing
It is shown in start menu

Thanks @Limyx826 for reporting this. I can confirm I see the same as you.
I'm filing a bug as I type. Thanks again.
Thanks,

Hi,
I will, call it a Jumplist, if that's ok. I am showing my own, also, w/ Dev. Will be different, of course, w/ different items. The difference between yours & mine is clear. But, please, note, do have to have it Turned On for (more) items to show on the Jumplist. I trust this may help.
Cheers,
Drew

This issue still occurs in Dev channel (version 78.0.276.2)

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

I have even tried to reinstall Edge Dev Insider and the task list remains not shown. I think the tasks are not registered for an unknown reason. I have attached screenshots showing the differences.

@HotCakeX I think the same issue exists in Canary too.
Version 79.0.278.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

The Firefox issue, I am able to get the tasks in jump list back by going to about:config then setting browser.taskbar.lists.enabled to false then true. I am not aware of a similar flag in Chrome or Edge Insider.

@FranklinWhale
Yes, Franklin, it is, your thinking is correct. And this is with the Dev taskbar jumplist that I happen to have at the moment. I have never been without it. And must be "On" in Settings.

It is, certainly, not a universal issue. I don't have it nor did I (ever). Dev or Canary. Seems not everyone has the issue.

No flag needs to be enabled. But, jumplist item in the OS Settings needs to be On.

The exact text of that option:
"Show recently opened items in the jump lists on Start or the taskbar and in the fire explorer Quick Access".
recently opened items for browser means recently visited websites.
for other programs like Photo viewer means recently opened photos and so on.

No Win10 Update is the cause. All I mentioned that is normal is on that Build. I didn't only check on the Insider Build; A-ok on both.

Quick note:
All 3 (of my) Edge Cs & Edge are fine. Maybe this info helps you.

@Limyx826 My Chrome lost all tasks on jump list after updating to Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) too!
It does seem to be Chromium related.
09-25-2019 07:15 AM
After this update the tasks came back.
It's back
09-25-2019 08:17 AM
@Limyx826 Using Version 79.0.279.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit), but the tasks on jump list are still missing...

Franklin, FWIW, I do not have this issue nor have I in any past Build & same for all 3 Channels.

And it broke again in today update
yep it broke again
10-15-2019 11:34 AM
@Limyx826 Same in Version 79.0.301.2
I hope somebody from the Edge team will look into this issue...
10-15-2019 12:23 PM
@FranklinWhale @Limyx826
BTW, whilst this is being reported... supposedly, we are all on the same up to date version numbers and the issue is not universal. For example, my own Jumplists are fine & always, have been. I do not think I am the only one NOT having this issue.

SolutionI 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.

@Limyx826 Your solution works!!!! I just could not believe it would. Thanks!
