ArcMap recent items in taskbar

[AlexM]

Hello,

I'm using ArcMap 10.7.1 in Windows 10 and I'm unable to see the jump list containing the list of recently open mxd's in the taskbar application icon.

Can some advise how to activate this list?

Thanks

@AlexM , have you switched on recently opened items setting? Right mouse click on start button and select Settings > Start >

If you've already done that, I have in the past found that ArcMap might fail to show the recent MXDs. But managed to override this by pinning a random MXD to the list. (open something you don't mind pinning and pin that)

[AlexM]

yes, this setting is already on.

try and pin an opened mxd and then recent mxds might kick in

Nice, that did it. Thanks, David.
