No tasks showing in taskbar context menu

Hello Aphi. The problem that you are having no recent tasks showing in the taskbar context menu is due to Windows not displaying Jump Lists, that shows recent files or frequent URLs for pinned apps such as Chrome or VS Code. Sometimes, Jump Lists will be disabled or reset from a system reinstall. The best fix is to go to Settings > Personalization > Start, and make sure that the option "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" is ON.

Here's the reference: Recent items not visible under Taskbar icons in Windows 11/10
