How to increase number of items in jump list

Currently limited to 9

Searching forum I have found this post:

https://forums.stardock.com/480111/change-of-items-on-jump-list

but seem to be closed with no answer. 
I have the same exactly problem. Number of recently opened apps can be increased fine, but jump list is limited to 9 and trick with added registry key work only when I right click app icon on task bar and not in the start menu. 

I do not have this problem with start8, over there it works like a dream.

Help, please!

Sean, it works only when I click application icon on the taskbar and not in menu. I don't need your software to use taskbar features. 
Start10 seem to need this to be fixed as I have spoken to my colleges and not just my but every Start10 suffer that limitation.

With Neil's help, we think we have it.

The below is a reg file that will increase the jumplist to a higher count, you can change it if you like:

https://cdn.stardock.us/support/uploads/EveryOneJump.zip

Unzip it, run it, accept all the warnings and it should look like this (Notepad example):



If you need to change it more, it is better to edit the reg file and rerun it unless you are comfortable with editing your own registry.

What you want to edit is:

"Start_JumpListItems"=dword:00000015

Changing the 15 to something else (doing so in Notepad is fine).

Hope this helps.
