Jump List not being added to
-
I’ve been using the 32-bit version of Notepad++ for many years with few or no problems. It’s one of my most-used utilities. A few days ago I “sidegraded” to the 64-bit version, for no particular reason except to see what would happen. All’s well except one thing: the pinned icon on Windows’ Task Bar is no longer accumulating file names on its jump list. Is this a known problem, or is it a setting I missed, or something peculiar to my computers? This is on a Windows 10 and Windows 11 machine.

Does nobody have any thoughts about this? I’m about ready to back down to the 32-bit version just to get my jump list back, which I find very helpful.
If the 64-bit version breaks the jump list feature, I would consider that a bug.

It works with 64-bit for me. I think jump list is mostly in the Windows side of things, so my guess is it’s on the OS’s end, maybe in the way you uninstalled vs installed, or some such.
