Problem with the taskbar

I accidentally unpinned Windows Explorer form the taskbar. However, from the start menu I pinned it back and it no longer shows stuff like recent in the jumplist.
It just has "Windows Explorer" and "Unpin this programme from taskbar"
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Drag a file or a folder to the taskbar. That should fix that.

Do you have recent items enabled? "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" > Start Menu > Privacy. Or is that information be deleted like CCleaner would do?

ok unpin the existing explore from taskbar.
Then open libraries. Now pin that to taskbar.

Hope this helps.

I do have it enabled, and I also have CCleaner; but CCleaner didn't remove recent it was when I unpined it :/

You can also go to the windows folder and drag the explorer.exe to the taskbar ;)
That didn't work; it still doesn't show recent files, just the two options. :(
