There does not seem to be a way to determine anything like an inherited AppID when run from a jump list. This makes things unnecessarily complicated. I'm adding the following to the manual page as a note to option TaskCommands: Note: To make the jump list persistent, it is necessary to carefully apply additional tricks to satisfy the insane taskbar configuration paradigm of Windows. First, also configure a default taskbar icon command using options AppName and AppLaunchCmd. Second, choose a unique value for AppID and also add it to the (default) launch command and all (jumplist) task commands. Third, invoke mintty with the chosen AppID and option --store-taskbar-properties.
