Description
Product change
- Source: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/335947
- Merged: 2026-09-14T09:32:26Z
On Windows, the application taskbar jump list includes an Agents Window task that launches directly into the Agents Window.
Why the docs need an update
The documentation covers taskbar attention badges but not the Windows jump-list shortcut for opening the Agents Window.
Suggested documentation
docs/agents/run/sessions/manage-sessions.md: Add the Windows taskbar jump-list entry near the application-icon guidance, or link it from the Agents Window launch instructions.
Acceptance criteria
- Windows users can find the documented taskbar workflow for opening the Agents Window.
- The shortcut is not presented as available on unsupported platforms.
