Default Taskbar icon behavior

I just installed 8.1 on my wife's computer and she reports a new behavior.

Previously, when she right-clicked the word processor icon in the task
bar, she would get a pop-up that showed several previously opened files.
Now she doesn't get that.

Is that configurable in 8.1? Thanks.

Try hovering without clicking.

In the taskbar, right click and select Properties.

In the Jumplist tab make sure "Store and Display recently opened Item in
Jumplist"

She gets a tooltip with the name of the program.

Update 8.1.


Sorry, I don't understand. She's set to automatically install updates.

Does it not repopulate after creating and saving new word processor files ?
