Windows 10: How to view multiple files vertically in the taskbar, when hovering over the icon in the...

How to view multiple files vertically in the taskbar, in my old system win7 it was working well, much appreciate if you could advise how to view vertically rather than horizontally when hovering over the icon in the taskbar

Multiple columns in vertical taskbar?

I'm guessing the 'Pinned' Taskbar Icons stay in a single row because of the whole thumbnail preview thing.
Perhaps with a 3rd party utility...
Multiple rows are easily achieved creating a new Toolbar, (right click Taskbar/Toolbars/New toolbar...)
unlock the Taskbar and drag Toolbars to desired position by hovering of the double separator bars til you see a double headed arrow, (you can drag them over top of each other to flip their positions)...

 

How to make multiple files show vertically in the taskbar

Hey everyone,

I just got a new work computer and went from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Microsoft Excel used to automatically show multiple files in a vertical list when hovering over the icon in the taskbar. With the new computer, they are all shown with thumbnails horizontally
which is terribly inconvenient. I've searched through the settings myself and have done some digging on multiple forums but am having trouble finding an answer. The only thing I found that looked promising appeared to need administrative access. This:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Click on Advanced key. On menu, click Edit > New > DWORD (32 bit) Value

This is a picture of what I am stuck with now:





I want them back in the vertical list with no thumbnail and the whole file name shown.

If anybody could show me how to do this (ideally without administrative access) that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Cody

Edwin, your taskbar seems to be what I need - but I can't get how to make it...
Could you describe step by step, in a fool-proof way, and since the very beginning, how to make it?
I don't see how to make it by adding a toolbar (?). I made a folder on a desktop, added it as a new toolbar. So I have a new toolbar on my taksbar, and the icons of the open applications keep on being in just one column.
What do I miss...?
