Increase Number of Items in Jump Lists

Thanks for your reply GranitStatColin.

I should make it clear that when I first upgraded from 8.1 to 10 I was able to have more than 12 items in the jump lists. I am sure I remember finding a setting that allowed the original default to be increased, although that seems to have disappeared as others have mentioned. I chose 30 and it worked fine.

I think a recent W10 update broke / removed the functionality to have more jump list entries; and the ability (on my machine at least) to get a hover pathname and to open the file location. The fact that you still see the pathname when hovering gives me hope though.

Again, just to be clear, I did have the hover pathname and the open folder location working with 30 jump list entries.

Regards

I am still unable to get more than 12 items in a Jumplist.
I have tried modifying Start_JumpListItems, and adding JumpListItems_Maximum but those made no difference.

Taskbar and Start Menu Properties look like this:-

Attachment 78573


























So just how does one solve this problem?

PS: I have just done a clean install and applied all available maintenance.

Hi,
I am not sure if your clean install will have addressed this, but I have been able to eliminate some issues by unpinning the applications from the task bar, and then re-pinning them. Also clearing the jumplists by unsetting Start>Settings>Personalization>Start>Show recently opened... has helped.
Regards

Instead of doing that, try just adding a DWORD to the same registry location.

Click Edit at the top of the menu, and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Type in JumpListItems_Maximum and then press ENTER.

Right click the newly added option 'JumpListItems_Maximum' and click MODIFY.

Set the value to DECIMAL and type in your desired jumplist quantity. By default I don't think you can go lower than 10.

That worked, thank you.

Ok, so I've added the suggested registry entries with no problem on several computers, but I have one that just refuses to cooperate. I've added/increased all 3 recommended entries, followed the cmd directions to reset AutomaticDestinations and CustomDestination, rebuilt the quick access list, and restarted multiple times to no effect. here's the reg:


and the items currently pinned in quick access:


and what the jump list shows:


Notice that it's still only showing 12 items, despite my changed registry and there being 14 items available to be shown. If anyone has any ideas, I would really be grateful. This is totally frustrating.

Try deleting Start_JumpListItems entirely.

Thanks, Keith. But no such luck. After some more hunting, I'm actually thinking the error is somewhere else. I can right-click on a folder and "pin to quick access" successfully, but i can not pin or unpin from the jump list itself - the pin icons show up, but they don't actually do anything. They did work before the last couple windows updates. If anyone has a clue how to reset that function, I'd appreciate it. I've already run sfc /scannow without identifying or solving the issue
