Windows 10: Taskbar Modification apps?

I'm really frustrated with the way taskbar works in Windows 10 and there doesn't appear to be settings to help me.

1. I do not want window previews to popup on mouse hover. This is confusing, unnecessary, and it frequently gets in the way of my work. Why can't I turn this off?
2. If I click on the tab for the window I'm currently in, I don't want it to to minimize! This has caused so much confusion. For example, if I forget I'm in Chrome but my brain thinks "go to chrome" so I click on the chrome tab, but then I'm presented with Photoshop, and it takes more clicks to just get back to Chrome.

These do not add value and have no use, IMO. If there's no setting to turn them off, are there any taskbar mods I can install to do it for me?

Modification date of link files (lnk) is updated when clicked, and if they are in a toolbar

I'm on Windows 10, and I customized a toolbar in my taskbar, with links to programs (Notepad, Paint, Calc, ...). The steps I followed are:

• Create a folder MyToolbar
• In this folder, add the shortcuts to notepad.exe (notepad.lnk) and mspaint.exe (mspaint.lnk)
• Right click on the taskbar, chose Toolbar, then New Toolbar
• Chose the folder MyToolbar
• A new toolbar is created in the taskbar

Every time I click on one of these icons to launch a program, for example Notepad, the modification date of notepad.lnk in the folder MyToolbar is updated.

This is annoying: because of this behavior, the synchronization program I use updates this file each time I click on it.

Can you reproduce this bug? Any solution?
