Steps to clear Jump Lists history on Windows 10

Jump Lists are designed to provide users with quick access to documents and tasks related to the applications installed on the system. You can treat Jump Lists like a small Start Menu that includes specific applications. Jump Lists can be found on application icons that appear on the Taskbar or on the Start Menu.

Jump List was first introduced on Windows 7. On Windows 10, Jump List automatically saves the history of all the files you have opened, folders, programs, Web sites you have visited and displays files, messages items, programs and URLs on the Taskbar and Start Menu.
