Windows 10: Taskbar jump list entries do nothing.

Taskbar jump list entries do nothing... This is a very old problem but no fixes for me. Tried flipping the switch back and forth, Created entry in the registry. As MS suggested back in 2017, no help.

Microsoft Office Taskbar Jump Lists

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.

 

Remote Desktop Connection jump list entries do nothing

I am unable to use jump list entries for Remote Desktop Connection. This includes both recent and pinned items. When I click on a jump list entry, I get the spinning blue circle for a fraction of a second and then nothing. If I open Remote Desktop Connection,
I can use the MRU entries from within the application. Here's a list of what I have tried so far:

• Clearing the entries by turning off "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar"
• Deleting all recent entries from registry (suspecting one or more corrupt entries)
• Deleting all entries from C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

Jump lists for all other applications that I have tried still work as designed. This issue started around the time that I installed the Anniversary Update, but I cannot tell for sure if that was the cause. Has anyone else run into this issue? Ideas?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
