Preview a thumbnail of the Windows 10 task bar in a concise format.
The task bar stopped displaying previews when multiple windows were active. For instance, with one Chrome window and two File Explorer windows open, only the Chrome preview appeared. This issue occurred after installing a Windows 10 update (feature update version 1903). I reviewed the task bar settings and performance/appearance options, but no solution was found.
Navigate to Start/Search, select Performance, then choose "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows." A panel will appear—ensure all checkboxes are selected, click OK. Restart your system and it should work properly.
Read about changing the register file to adjust thumbnail dimensions or timing. Consider using the settings that cap the number of thumbnails per app to one.
Consider evaluating whether the Group Policy setting "Turn off taskbar thumbnail" is active, and if applicable, turn it off before restarting your system.
Curious about your setup. The mixed icons suggest some changes to the system. It might be due to software modifications or a custom Start Menu replacement. These adjustments could have altered files, leaving you with a disorganized appearance.
I wasn't using any of those program. The mess might came from a script I ran to get gpedit on my windows since mine is a windows home edition. here is the script: @echo off pushd "%~dp0" dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i" pause It might also be that when I added an ssd to my pc, I forgot to uninstall windows from my old drive, which is also windows 10(the files disappeared though). So, in this case, if I do a clean system install, shall I back up my windows settings?
