Windows 10: 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

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.

 

Windows 10 taskbar thumbnail live preview

How do I get my full screen preview when I hover over a taskbar thumbnail. It was working yesterday and I know of no reason why it stopped. I have the live thumbnail, but want the full screen preview of the thumbnail without having to click on the thumbnail.

Hope this makes sense and that someone can help.

Thanks

 

Disable Taskbar Thumbnail Preview?

Hey there,

I was just searching the internet for ways to disable the Taskbar Thumbnail Preview in Windows 10, and I found one that half-worked (only some apps use list view instead of thumbnails). I was wondering if there was a way to completely disable the preview?
I am alright editing the registry.

Thanks,

Pointy
