Chrome taskbar New Window shortcut doesn't work: might have been moved, renamed or removed [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Same here. I've tried the following, but I couldn't get the jump list tasks to work:

  1. Reinstalled Chrome
  2. Reinstalled Chrome after clearing relevant files/folders
  3. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/the-item-you-selected-is-unavailable-it-may-have/324439f4-b112-4dc7-a06f-449713bce028
  4. One of the fixes mentioned here which is just like #3 - Broken jump lists on Windows 10

UPDATE

I made it work again by simply playing around with the Settings>Start. This Youtube video should give you an idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG1tv-kceF4

Here's what I did:

  1. Disabled recent items in the jump lists
  2. Opened some websites in Chrome (both in regular and incognito tabs)
  3. Closed Chrome
  4. Enabled recent items in the jump lists
  5. Did #2 again and tried checking the jump list, didn't change so I thought it didn't work
  6. I just browsed some more websites cause I gave up on this (heh)
  7. Checked it again a few minutes later hoping something changes and yeah, somehow got it fixed, the tasks (New window and New Incognito window) appeared again with the recent items above them
