General Open Jump Lists in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to open Jump Lists for apps for your account in Windows 11.

Jump Lists are available when you right click on an app on the taskbar or Start Menu that supports having a jump list.

Jump Lists are lists of app specific tasks or items you can quickly open or get to for every day usage. Jump Lists can include pinned items, recent items, frequent items, tasks, and/or websites recently opened in the app.

Items pinned to an app's jump list will appear at the top of the jump list for quick access.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22635.4000 (Beta), Microsoft is beginning to try out showing jump lists when you hover your mouse cursor over apps on the taskbar that have jump lists and are inactive.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22635.4010 (Beta), Insiders in the Beta Channel who have the experience where we show jump lists when you hover your mouse cursor over apps on the taskbar that have jump lists that began rolling out with Build 22635.4000, there is a setting to turn this off should you want to via Settings > Personalization > Taskbar under “Taskbar behaviors”.
