Hello, did anyone faced the issue whan no recent items are shown at the jump list.

In my case it happens only in VisualStudio 2012.

Same with me.

Visual Studio 2012 On Windows 8.1 shows no recent items in the jump list.

I did a little more digging and discovered that Visual Studio 2012 Version Selector is being forced as the default program for .sln files. I was able to get the jump list to work again by changing the shell open command in the registry.

Open your registry browse to the following key: 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\Shell\Open\Command

Change the default string to:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" "%1"

Or just paste the following into notepad and save it as VS_Default.reg then double-click on it and it will make the change for you.

-----------Copy Below------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\Common7\\IDE\\devenv.exe\" \"%1\""
