Jump lists make it faster and easier to access your recently and frequently opened items in your favorite apps. If you want to customize Windows 11 jump lists, we have a few methods to help you. You can use the Settings app or a tweak in the Registry Editor to control which and how many items appear in these lists. Here's how to do that.
How to Show or Hide Recently Opened Items in the Start Menu, Jump Lists, and File Explorer in Windows 11
When you right-click an app on the Windows taskbar or in the All Apps menu in Start, you'll see your recent and frequently opened items for that app. This list of items is called a jump list for that particular app.
You can select any item on a jump list to open that item in that app. This saves you time because you don't have to find the file on your computer and then open it, or launch the app and then use the "Open" option.
Jump lists support pinned items, so an item doesn't have to be recent or frequently used to appear on a jump list. You can manually pin items to these lists for quick access.
