    How to OPEN Programs in Taskbar Preview WITHOUT Clicking ??

    @Triliuner I'm sorry to hear it's not as simple as that.

    When you have multiple windows opened from a single application e.g. 2 separate windows from Chrome, do they show up as previews when you hover over Chrome's icon in the taskbar, or as a list? Just asking to clarify that, they are at least showing as previews. If not, this should help: Change Taskbar Thumbnail Threshold to Show List in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

    As for the different windows not showing when you hover your mouse over a preview, maybe it has something to do with the delay, see here: Change Delay Time to Show Taskbar Thumbnails in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials (restoring the default value)

    I hope that helps, if not, maybe others can suggest some other things to try..

    Taskbar Preview not showing

    Hi Richard! Here's what caught my attention. What do you think??

    • Always, hide labels. This is the default setting. Each app appears as a single, unlabeled button, even when multiple windows for that app are open.
    • When taskbar is full. This setting shows each window as an individual, labeled button. When the taskbar becomes crowded, apps with multiple open windows collapse into a single app button. Tap or click the button to see a list of the
      windows that are open.
    • Never. This setting shows each window as an individual, labeled button and never combines them, no matter how many windows are open. As more apps and windows open, buttons get smaller, and eventually the buttons will scroll.
    PS Hey Richard! Do you really think anyone here on the MS forum notices or cares how hard we try to help members with W10 problems. I don't think they do. LMAO!

    TASKBAR HELP

    Hello, I have a problem with the taskbar and app previews, I used (for example) to be able to have multiple browsers open and when I hovered on the group a several small windows near the taskbar would display each browser. Now it only shows a preview if
    there is only one. If multiple browsers are open it just has a text list of browsers. Please if anyone can help, I would deeply appreciate it.
