Windows 10: Windows 10 20H2 jump list is broken (again)

After some time, I had decided to upgrade my Windows 10 1909 to 20H2. Once 20H2 is installed, the bugs that I encountered when I upgrade to 2004 are back and not fix by any update.

My PC is ACER NITRO 5 with i5-8300H cpu with GTX1050 gpu and 8GB RAM.

Last time I had reported these bugs to Microsoft and send help in this subreddit when I upgraded to 2004.

The bugs are the same what I encountered last time.

The jump list tasks on taskbar doesn't work at all. For example, you click on a pinned folder or open in new browser window and none of those opened up.

The folder shortcut unable to open in new window while regular folder able to open in new window.

Win + x menu on start menu win32 shortcuts doesn't work.

The ones that are affected are Mobility Center, Event Viewer, Device Manager, Disk Management, Computer Management, Command Prompt, PowerShell and Task Manager. Shortcuts lead to Settings work along with Search, Run and Desktop.

I'm currently deciding to revert back to 1909 again if this is unsolvable.

Broken Jump Lists after upgrading to 2004

I've just managed to break my Jump lists, but for a different reason.

I wanted to test compatibility with Excel 2003, so installed it (Excel only) recently alongside my main Office (2007)
I think that installing 2003 has broken the Win 10 jump lists

Since installing 2003,
Word 2007 behaves normally - I open a doc from years ago, and it appears at the top of the Word jump list
On Excel 2007 ONLY, if I open any workbook it no longer shows as a Recent, even when currently loaded and in use

Is there a Jump lists Troubleshooter tool I wonder?
Or do I need an in-place re-install of Windows?

I really rely on those jump lists, - my memory ain't that good these days

 

Windows 10 problem with duplicated icons in taskbar, broken Jump Lists


Hello,


I‘ve been recently having a problem with duplicated items in taskbar and broken Jump Lists. I‘m now using Windows 10 but this problem occurred in Windows 8.1 too but then it somehow fixed itself. Some programs that I pin to taskbar have a tendency to duplicate themselves when clicked on. For now, I‘ve noticed this behaviour only in Skype and Spotify but it‘s still very annoying since duplicate icons take valuable taskbar space and even more—make Jump Lists of those programs broken, meaning that you can still see tasks program developers provided but after you click them nothing happens.


I‘ve tried loads of times pinning, repinning, deleting whole User Pinned folder from %appdata%/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Quick Launch, clearing Jump List folders manually and automatically with Command Prompt commands as suggested here with no luck. The only thing I did achieve was when I pinned Skype to taskbar in my other user account, then copied the newly created shortcut from Use Pinned folder to my User Pinned folder—this made Skype Jump Lists working but duplicate icon in taskbar remained.


I‘ve recently found a tutorial which may force taskbar to use only one icon per app but I can‘t check this right now as 7+ Taskbar Tweaker isn‘t yet officially available for Windows 10 users.


Thank you for taking your time and reading my message, any suggestions would be appreciated,





P. S. I don‘t know if this is related but I can‘t pin any Control Panel item to Quick Access whilst I can pin folders. Interesting side of this is that pinned Control Panel items appear in File Explorer's Jump List but after clicked I get a message that item is unavailable and that it might have been moved, renamed or removed.

 

Broken Jump Lists after upgrading to 2004

Hi, I am suddenly facing issues with the Jump Lists after upgrading to version 2004. For some reason, when I try to access recent files (that have not been moved), Windows thinks that the file is not there. This happens randomly to some files. I've attached an example of such an issue with using the Jump Lists for Notepad++. Anyone know a solution to this?
