    Is there a way to sort taskbar icon preview order?


    I'm not sure what it's exactly called, but when you have multiple folders open(or similar stacking files) and when you hover over them and they show the a thumbnail is it possible to sort there order? I exited out of a folder by accident and now its out of order. Hope there is a way to do it that i'm missing.

    Thanks in advance

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

    Video Thumbnail on Taskbar

    The feature is called Taskbar preview and is not supposed to remain open after you remove the cursor from the icon. So it is working proper when it closes preview once the cursor is removed from the Taskbar icon.

    EDIT: I have seen Taskbar preview stick and stay open before myself even after the cursor has been removed but that not suppose to happen and I don't know for sure why it happens in the first place but I'm guessing it has to do with memory running low .....

    Is there a way to sort taskbar icon preview order?

    Sort taskbar folder thumbnails?

    Aside from opening them in alphabetical order, I doubt it.

    Probably have to try a 3rd party app!
