    Excel Taskbar Icon not showing pinned workbooks


    The Office 365 Excel Taskbar icon will not show list of pinned workbooks. I have to open Excel and then select from pinned workbooks.

    The windows update assistant was used to do an update install, keep programs and files.

    You could check, if recent files are turned on in Settings

    Turn On or Off Recent Items and Frequent Places in Windows 10

    If this won't help, Office repair maybe..

    There is a forum devoted to MS Office that I have found to be helpful in solving knotty issues --

    Microsoft Office Forums - Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project

    And there is a section devoted to Excel.

    Turn on recent places did the trick. Thanks.
