Windows 10: Are "jump lists" meant to look like this now?

I use jump lists, when you swipe up from an app on the taskbar, or right-click it..


Recently I have noticed they now tower up to the top of the screen - is this by design or have I done something?

How to adjust jump lists in Win10 enterprise?


I'm looking for the same thing. I previously had my jump list set to 30, but it's not looking like that stayed through the Windows 10 upgrade. However, it looks like I can modify the jump lists the same way as they are discussed in the below thread, but I'm wondering if there is still some sort of limit that Windows 10 has a cap on as it really doesn't appear to be working *Sad I'm going to restart and keep messing around with it, but we'll see how it goes. I noticed that as I unpinned things, my jump list got smaller... which was NOT what I was looking for!
