Windows 10: How to change the type of preview in the taskbar of several windows of one application?

So, after some update the preview behavior changed, now it looks like this:

https://preview.redd.it/5a3s5vaoj6i...bp&s=6b3e33ebc1c5ba0d5911e35fafb2af7afad58775

It used to display both windows next to each over just like its displaying one window now:

How do I revert? Is there any setting for this?

Taskbar application preview

AS I PREDICTED there was a setting in (REGEDIT) that changed the apearance of the thumbnail preview when it went above the max of (1) so I removed the setting and now its finally showing it how I want to.

like this:

If you're curious how I did it I followed these steps and modified the last one to fix my personal problem:

Windows 10 Taskbar sometimes on top of full-screen applications

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

• Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
• In the search box, type Settings
  
• SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
• Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
  "(Recommended)”.

Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
• If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
  
• If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

How to OPEN Programs in Taskbar Preview WITHOUT Clicking ??

@Triliuner I'm sorry to hear it's not as simple as that.

When you have multiple windows opened from a single application e.g. 2 separate windows from Chrome, do they show up as previews when you hover over Chrome's icon in the taskbar, or as a list? Just asking to clarify that, they are at least showing as previews. If not, this should help: Change Taskbar Thumbnail Threshold to Show List in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

As for the different windows not showing when you hover your mouse over a preview, maybe it has something to do with the delay, see here: Change Delay Time to Show Taskbar Thumbnails in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials (restoring the default value)

I hope that helps, if not, maybe others can suggest some other things to try..
