    Stop pop-up windows from showing when hovering over task bar


    I've searched help files, but can't find how to stop pop-up windows when I hover over a taskbar icon. There is a Windows 10 thread related to this, but the option that it said to use is no longer in the registry files at least, not in the location it gave. Does anyone know how to solve this for Windows 11?Previous not working solution for Win10: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/remove-pop-up-window-when-hovering-over-icon/3790801d-48dc-411c-a598-f923dac8e9f4I hate the preview Windows popping up every time I grace my cursor near the taskbar going between monitors.

    No Task Bar (hovering) preview, no peeking, no full screen is on hovering over and clicking

    When there is no window opened, hovering over taskbar app icons, a preview is shown, but on hovering over preview no full window is opened, and no peeking is done, and also clicking on that small preview, no window opened.

    1. And whenever there is a window is opened then hovering over taskbar icons doesn't gives any preview of the window.
    2. But it still opens window, on just clicking on task bar icons ( i.e. working fine ).

    And when two windows of any app is being opened and if minimized any of them then you can not maximise that minimized window...???

    • And when both windows of same app is being minimized then hovering over task bar icon of that app still shows those two previews, but clicking on any preview doesn't provide anything, and thus it all means after minimizing those two window of that app you
      can not recover any of the window.
    Basically the problem is I'm not able to open window ( or make full ) from any task bar preview and the First (1.) one also of first paragraph.

    Is there any way to force stop all task bar pop up notification on windows 10?

    I often get pop up notification for certain apps and it is very annoying.It can't be stopped by notification setting.Just want to force stop the task bar to pop up.

    For some Java apps continue to pop up taskbar just for hovering the app window using "Ease of access center/make the mouse easier to use/activate a window by hovering over it with mouse"

    Thank you.

    Win 10 suddenly stops Task Bar Browser Icons Popup on Mouse Hover

    Hi, I understand you do not see taskbar thumbnails when hovering over an active icon on the taskbar.

    You could use this recommended reputable free tool to try re-enabling that - by unchecking the box of course.
