Windows 10: Why does OUTLOOK does not perform hover taskbar feature?

Hi there,While using the Outlook desktop app, the taskbar will no longer pop up when I take my mouse to the bottom of the screen, or when I have any window open fully. This is very frustrating as I have to close the window, every time I want to go from one application to another for example from Outlook to a Word document - or to click on the start menu. I’ve looked at and fiddled around with the taskbar settings, but this doesn't change anything. I can of course lock the taskbar so that it stays up permanently, but I

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

 

Disable the popups when hovering the taskbar on Windows 11

Hi there! My name is, Zadee. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Sorry to hear about your experience. I'll try my best to help you today.

You could try modifying the mousehovertime registry key to 900000. The mouse hover time is the time in milliseconds that the mouse pointer has to stay hovered over an item before an event happens.

To do that, you can follow the steps below:

1. Windows + R

2. Type regedit <Enter>

3. Navigate to this path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

4. Look for MouseHoverTime

5. Double-click it and replace Value date to 900000

6. Hit OK

7. Restart the computer

Note that this does not only apply to the taskbar icons but to all icons your mouse will be hovering on.

If you want to specifically want this to only happen on taskbar icons, you have to send MS a feature request for that through the feedback hub. That's were MS Engineers review user-suggested features.

Windows 11 Taskbar feature loss

In addition to unlocking (as discussed here), there are two more Taskbar features that seem to have disappeared in Windows 11. Am I looking in all the wrong places, or is the reduction in Taskbar features really this bad?

1. If the Taskbar has space, show separate buttons for each application window (in Windows 11, it seems that the only option is a button per application, meaning I have to either Alt-Tab or hover over the button to find the window I need. Alt-Tab is cumbersome with many windows open; hovering takes too much time. And clicking an application button merely toggles the last-used application window up or minimized, as if the other windows don't exist.
   
2. On the 2nd (and subsequent) monitors, show only the taskbar buttons of windows that are actually displayed on that monitor. In Windows 11, all taskbars show all buttons, even if an applications has no windows on the 2nd screen.
   

Maybe these should be feature requests? Though it feels wrong somehow to submit a feature request for features that Microsoft seems to have removed with evil intent.

In any case. productivity is significantly reduced for me with the loss of these two features!
