    Taskbar thumbnails "live" preview not working Windows 10

    I recently restored my laptop. After the restore, my taskbar thumbnail preview stopped showing a live picture of what an application was doing, instead, it shows a still photo. I did notice that if the application wasn't minimized and I hovered over the
    thumbnail of that application, the thumbnail preview was showing the "live" picture and not a still photo. For example, if a video was playing on a browser then when the browser was not minimized and my mouse was on the thumbnail preview. In the preview, the
    video would also be playing but if the application was minimized then the preview would be a still photo.

    Cannot disable Taskbar live preview in 7!

    Hi all,

    Recently tried out Windows 7 and decided to run it on my other HDD insted of VMware.

    I'm trying to disable the taskbar live preview, and I've tried everything I can find:

    > Creating a DWORD reg file named "DisablePreviewWindow" value 1 - Didn't work.

    > Creating a DWORD reg file named "TaskbarNoPreview" value 1 - Didn't work.

    > Local group policy editer "Turn off taskbar thumbnails" and check enable - Didn't work and noticed that it says "Supported on: Windows Vista Only"...

    Can anyone tell me if they know how to turn this off it's really really annoying, and more annoying that everything I've tried dosn't work...

    Cheers to anyone that can help *Smile Taskbar live preview not working if window is minimized :)

    taskbar "live" thumbnail preview not playing

    I recently restored my desktop. After the restore, my taskbar thumbnail preview stopped showing a """live"""" picture(video) of what an application was doing, instead, it shows a still photo. I did notice that if the application wasn't minimized and I hovered
    over the thumbnail of that application, the thumbnail preview was showing the "live" picture and not a still photo. For example, if a video was playing on a browser then when the browser was not minimized and my mouse was on the thumbnail preview. In the preview,
    the video would also be playing but if the application was minimized then the preview would be a still photo

    THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS OUT THERE HASN'T BEEN PROPERLY ANSWERED AND SOLVED
