Hi folks,



Having a bit of a strange issue with Windows 10 Taskbar Jump Lists. I have Internet Explorer/Firefox pinned to the taskbar. If I right click on the icon and select "Start InPrivate Browsing" (in IE) or "New private window" in Firefox, I get the error "The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?", and then the only option to select is "Cancel". InPrivate browsing does work for both however, as I can open Internet Explorer and go to the gear in the top right, then Safety, then "Open InPrivate Browsing", it opens and works great. So just looks to be the taskbar jump list option not working (I have tried un-pinning/re-pinning the taskbar icon - no luck)






PC - Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2nd Gen)

Windows 10 Version 1909 (Created bootable USB from Microsoft site ISO and formatted SSD and did clean install of OS. Has only been a few weeks since install, but more than likely has had some updates in that period.


Only a handful of free/paid programs installed (Kaspersky Anti-Virus, MalwareFox AntiMalware, AdGuard, Office 2019, VLC, Adobe Reader DC, UTorrent, VirtualBox, Teamviewer).


Any thoughts on what could be causing this?



Thanks!
