Vivaldi pinned to the task bar doesn't offer any option (eg. open Incognito) after the latest update
-
So, I read all the answers a bit. I already tried the workaround suggested by @Gwen-Dragon but it didn't work for me. I also tried a complete uninstall (even by removing the various registry keys and all the folders) but reinstalling Vivaldi I had the same issue. I am currently on Windows 10 1909.
-
Still broken with the latest update...
-
Even with todays update it still has the same behavior.
-
Will this ever be fixed?

@eduardomaio I can't reproduce your problem. But maybe if you file a bug, someone will be able to. Here, it works properly on two Win10 2004 towers, a Win10 1909 tower, a Win10 1909 laptop, and a Win7 tower. All of the machines are either HP or Dell. Haven't tried it on any other of my machines.
I wonder if you are installing Vivaldi differently than I do. I always install it "current user only" and standalone. I don't use an "all users" install, nor do I ever install it in a non-standard directory. In pretty much every case, I have 3 versions of Vivaldi on each machine - Stable, Snapshot, and the internal test version (which is updated 5 or 6 days a week as a rule). All of them are pinned to taskbar, and all taskbar icons behave as expected.
Also, I wonder whether you are installing the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version. I use only the 64-bit version, except on my old X86 Win7 box (which, being X86, is 32-bit only).

No change here. Neither the Stable and Snapshot versions display the New Window / Incognito (Private) Window options. I see no Windows Taskbar settings to change this behaviour.
I use two monitors.
-
I've 2 installations at different machines, both multi-user-installation, on both the speeddials are shown like it should be.
one machine is Win10 Home 20H2 x64, the other ist Win 10 Enterprise 1909 x64 -
No such problem here.
Latest Vivaldi Snapshot, latest Win10 update.
Single laptop monitor though. -
It's beginning to sound as though multiple monitors may be the key.
-
All the computers I've tried this on are single display.

@eduardomaio This seems to be a Windows 10 bug. It fails to recognize Vivaldi as an app. This can usually be fixed by removing pinned Vivaldi from the taskbar, opening it, and then pinning the resulting taskbar icon.

I created an account just to reply to this.
I've had the same issues as others in this thread and unpinning and repinning the icon has never worked.
Then I stumbled across similar behaviour in an older version of Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/14579131?msgid=14828542
From here, it points to the files in the location [C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations] OR [%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations]
Originally, I located the file with AppID 969fa00ceac8236d. Opening this file with notepad revealed the task list for New Tab, New Window and New Private Window.
I then installed Vivaldi on a new machine and noticed that the jump list tasks were present and working.
Checking the same directory, the AppID appears to be different - 158aa8c19981b864.
So like the instructions in the thread, I made a copy of 969fa00ceac8236d.customDestinations-ms in the same directory, and then renamed the new copy to 158aa8c19981b864.customDestinations-ms.Then just like that, the jump tasks appeared when I right clicked on the icon in the taskbar.
Not 100% sure if this bug is with Windows, or with the browser, but hope this might help others who have had the same issue.

The above post seems to only get you the New Tab, New Window and New Incognito Window tasks.
For speed dials, it looks like it was not working due to having "Show recently opened items in Jump lists on start of the taskbar" disabled.
I'm not sure if disabling this is actually the root cause of the issue - as I already created the new customers destinations files.
However, if someone has similar issues, it would be good to try this first and see if this is the cause.
For me, after enabling show recent items on the jumplist (located under Windows Settings > Personalization > Start) and logging off and back in, the Speed dial options came up on the jump list.
However, they do disappear the moment you disable the recent items - so I'm guessing that this is working as intended? -
@koalapigu
I know this is an older post, but I wanted to thank you for this. I was unable to use the tasks (Open new tab, new window, new private window) from the taskbar icon. If I enabled "show recently added apps" in the start menu options, I was able to get those tasks. If I enabled "show recently opened items..." I also had my speed dial options, in addition to the tasks. -
@hezekiahc Sorry I can't reproduce here.
Vivaldi 4.1.2367.3 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision 194fb9ff99a702d7e3bb10052bedcd3021ded465
OS Windows 10 OS Version 2009 (Build 19043.1110)
Win10 Home 21H1
Microsoft Windows has somehow made a complete mess of the Taskbar two or three updates ago. I errors i Taskbar even if I just have Notepad running.
-
@greybeard I should clarify. The behaviour I mentioned only applies to the 32-bit version. I just tested, and found the following caveats: when running x64, I have to turn "show recent apps" off, and can't get my speed dial options to appear on the jumplist at all.
-
@hezekiahc said in Vivaldi pinned to the task bar doesn't offer any option (eg. open Incognito) after the latest update:
Although I use 64bit Win10, I do not have to toggle
turn "show recent apps" off,
every time I change virtual windows and want to open a new Vivaldi window.
Am I misunderstanding your problem?
The only non 64bit machine I have is my 1995 CADD machine w/Win98 so I cannot test. -
