A small annoyance that I've noticed.

When pinning apps such as Word or Notepad to the Start Menu, they don't seem to have any jump lists in their right-click menu even though I have enabled this option in Settings. They do show jump lists in the "All apps" section of the Start menu or when they appear on the task bar.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Everyone is. That is normal behaviour, the icons on Win11's Start do not have jump lists. Start has been redesigned from scratch for Win11 and that feature was not included. The All apps list and the Taskbar the only places you'll see a jump list.

Thanks for verifying. I don't understand this "design" though. If it's able to show jump lists in the all apps section of the Start Menu, why not in other sections? It always has been a handy feature.

Guess we'll never know

It looks like that they are adding it back :)

Ngl. It was a good call to wait a few years, I feel like only now W11 is finally catching up to W10.
