Windows 10: start button used to show recently opened and installed apps on right now they are on...

I no longer can access files and folder on my desktop screen since my apps moved from Start to the desktop. My taskbar doesn't access desktop on far right of taskbar for quick view. Opening attachments and emails reverts to split screen. I can't 'Restore Down' only close or minimize. Taskbar on right shows Start button whited out...a new whited out back arrow and Cortana whited out.

Jump lists do not show on taskbar but do on Start button


I want jump lists on both taskbar and Start button, they are only showing on Start button. I have checked the registry key that controls this attribute and the value is "1" so both should show. The "Show recently opened items... " switch in Settings is set to ON. Something is supressing the jump lists on my Taskbar icons. I do get live thumbnails on the icons but that is all. Right clicking does nothing.

Windows 10 Pro is an upgrade install and did not clean install afterwards. In my opinion not needed. I have run SFC /scannow and got a clean report.

CORRECTION: The Start button is showing the context menu on right click, not the jump list, unless that IS the jump list.

Is the registry key value 1 to show the jump lists?

 

Frequently used apps in Start menu

Thank you for the information. I followed the instructions (this is Windows 10). The items on the Start menu are:

1. Show More Tiles. It was turned off so I turned it back on.

2. Show App List in Start Menu - ON

3. Show Recently Added Apps - ON

4. Show Most Used Apps - Off but is gray so I cannot do anything with it.

5. Occasionally Show Suggestions in Start - Off

6. Use Full Start Screen - Off

7. Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar - On

Even with turning the Show More Tiles on the Show Most Used Apps is not available. Any suggestions?

 

NEWLY added apps are not showing on Start App list

Hi Tamal,
