    cursor jumps to bottom of file list when opening docs, etc


    This is a very annoying problem that I've had for a long time. I navigate using File Explorer very often and this seems to have gotten worse recently. When I go to Docs and then open a folder, I don't always watch the screen as I type. I then look up and find the cursor has dropped to the bottom of the docs list of files. I have hundreds, maybe thousands of folders, and when I am taken to the folders starting with Z, I have to stop what I was doing, find my way back to where I had intended to go initially. It disrupts my line of thought and I must get started again and find where I was.Ple

    :)

    Hi Ken,

    For us to better assist you with the taskbar Jump Lists issue, we'd like to know the following:

    • Were there any changes made to the computer prior to this issue (e.g. Windows updates)?
    • Does the issue also occur on other pinned apps/files?

    In the meantime, we suggest to turn off/on Jump Lists in Settings. To do so, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + i to open Settings, then select
      Personalization.
    • In the left pane, click Start.
    • Turn Off then turn On Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on the Start or the taskbar.

    We're looking forward to your reply.

    File Explorer Jump List

    Hi, New PC Win 10 installed been working fine for about a year. All of a sudden, could have been after an update, and whilst all other jump lists are fine, the File Explorer jump list won't let me open an item by left clicking on it. To open an file
    from the File Explorer Jump List I have to right click to open the jump list then right click again to open the mini menu and then I can left click the word Open. This is so annoying when you're used to just left clicking the file once the jump list is open.
    Any ideas anyone apart from restore. thanks.
