Windows 10: Tasks Menu not showing up on the Taskbar when Right-Clicking Chrome

Ok, I know that title is a mouthful. Let me explain.I have Google Chrome pinned to my taskbar. On one of my computers, when I right-click that icon, the "Tasks" menu shows up, and I'm able to launch an Incognito Window directly from the taskbar. On another computer, the "Tasks" menu does not show up and I have to open a regular Chrome window to then launch an Incognito window.MS Edge is also pinned to the taskbar, and the "Tasks" menu shows up and I can launch a "New Window" or "InPrivate window".Where does one enable the "Tasks" menu for apps that are pinned to the taskbar?

:)

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?
