This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing frequent sites on the Windows taskbar in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 11.

Whether you’re searching, shopping or gaming, AI-powered tools and a security-first approach help you stay productive, save money, and get things done your way.
In the Microsoft Edge Canary, Beta, and Dev versions, Microsoft has added a Show frequent sites on Windows taskbar toggle.
I have not seen any changes when toggling this setting on and off, but the assumption is this will eventually turn on or off showing frequent sites in the jump list of the Microsoft Edge icon on the taskbar.
For now, we will have to wait until official documentation on this Show frequent sites on Windows taskbar toggle is made available by Microsoft.
Here's How:
1 Open Microsoft Edge.
2 Click/tap on the Settings and more (Alt+F) 3 dots menu icon, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on Privacy, search, and services in the left pane, and click/tap on Search and connected experiences in the right pane. (see screenshot below)
If you do not see a left pane, then either click/tap on the 3 bars menu button towards the top left OR widen the horizontal borders of the Microsoft Edge window until you do.
4 Turn On or Off (default) Show frequent sites on Windows taskbar for what you want. (see screenshot below)
5 You can now close the Settings tab in Microsoft Edge if you like.
That's it,
