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.

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

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.

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