This tutorial will show you how to pin or unpin items on Jump Lists of 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.

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 22635.3785 (Beta), when right-clicking on apps pinned to the Start menu, jump lists will be shown for apps that have them such as File Explorer.

Folders you pin or unpin for the jump list of File Explorer will also be pinned or unpinned for Quick access.

Folders you pin or unpin for Quick access will also be pinned or unpinned for the jump list of File Explorer.
