Windows 10: Taskbar Thumbnail Preview Acting Weird

Hi, I'm a minor that just wanted to know what was going on. My operating system is Windows 10 Home.


Usually, when you scroll your cursor over a taskbar icon, it shows a little picture, or thumbnail, of what it is if it's open. My problem is that sometimes, when I do this, it just shows the name of the icon or the file location, not the thumbnail. The text also won't immediately go away when I move my cursor, and the icon stays lit it's doing it as I type this.


It's kind of annoying. I didn't want to have to come here but I couldn't find the exact problem without being led to an outdated Windows 7 solution.

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
