Jump lists on Task Bar not fully functional

Hi Stephenson,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

To assist you better, please provide few details.

• 
  Do you receive any error, while trying to add icon on the Jump List in the task bar?
  
• 
  Do you receive any error, while trying to install arrange icon in the task bar?
  

As per your query, I like to inform you that; you can arrange the icon in the task bar.

I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

1) Open an Administrator CMD window (Type
CMD in the Search bar or Press Windows Logo Key + X. Click on
Command Prompt admin).

If you can’t find a way, use these steps:

• 
  Press CTRL + Shift + ESC to open Task Manager.
  
• 
  Click File > Run New Task.
  
• 
  Make sure you have a check mark beside "Create this task with administrative privileges".
  
• 
  Type CMD.
  

2) Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannnow

3) If both the above commands are completed and show no remaining issues, run the PowerShell command and copy and paste the following:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


4) Check to be sure this command ran, showed a blue progress indicator and then returns to the prompt. If you see a red error, please try again. The command may have been typed or pasted incorrectly, or there may be a larger problem with Windows 10.

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Mdsched

Windows 10 (latest version) would randomly freeze and on hard shutoff give the BSOD - "Memory management"

Ran MdSched. With Standard option it ran two passes and found no problem.

Tried same with extended option. Test froze at 21% of first pass. No problem had been detected at time it froze.

I ran Chkdsk and no problems. I ran sfc/scannow with no problem.

I then ran Mdsched three more times with both standard and extended options. Same result as above.
