Excel jumplist entries won't stay pinned

I sometimes see two entries for a file
One has the path D:\OneDrive etc and the filename includes the file extension
The other has the path https://d.docs.live.net etc and does not include the file extension

That's not an issue as one is pointing to the local drive, while the other is pointing to the online location. The online location isn't going to include the file extension. That's normal behavior - no issue.

What if any is the consequence of opening a recent file like https://d.docs.live.net etc?

Opening the files directly from the server (online) vs. locally (D:\OneDrive) simply means you're updating/opening the file on the server vs. the local file on you're PC (D:\OneDrive). The difference here is if you're offline the local file may not be sync'd with the online file. Vice versa - being offline would only allow access to the local file.

That said, I tend to use the local file and let it sync with the online file as opposed to other way around which could cause file mismatches.

Bottom line you have no issues, and all is good.

Thank you sygnus21 for your reply
Any idea why if I pin a recent file like D:\OneDrive etc then subsequently click the pinned file it disappears from the pinned jumplist?

Not sure. I would open the local file (D drive) and right click the taskbar, right click the open file, and click "Pin to this list" That will pin the item as shown in my example below with "Electronics" ...

This is an Office 365 bug, disable office sync if it's an option for you

I wouldn't call it a big problem. It's not like that thread has hundreds saying they have the issue.
