Windows 10: Jump list

If you don't want jump list on the web browser in the taskbar

1.Settings
2.personalisation
3.start
4.Show recently opened items in jump list on start or the taskbar, click off.

However this works only once, when you reboot and use your web browser, the jump list ends up with a list of top sites added again.

So I think this needs fixing, or I might be doing something wrong, or it might be by (design.) (Hope not).


P.S. This is the latest October update. Version 1809 (OS build 17763.1)

Increase Number of Items in Jump Lists

Thank you for the tip. I cleared those two folders (AutomaticDestinations and CustomDestinations) and restarted, as you suggested. This did clear all of my jump lists, as expected. However, upon opening 15-20 documents, I see that I can still only get 12 items in the Jump Lists (both on the taskbar and Start menu).

I am connected to a domain, but I don't think that's the issue, or it would have overwritten the JumpListItems_Maximum value based on some Group Policy. No, it's just ignoring it. There must be another value somewhere that's overriding it.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions. This is really killing my productivity.
