    My taskbar icon cannot preview windows


    I don't remember what action I did that caused this situation. The taskbar looks messy. What should I do? 1.When the cursor stops on the icon and no window is seen2. The taskbar icons have become too large, and there is not enough space to display more icons3. The icon still exists after closing the window4. Icons fixed to the taskbar cannot be displayed

    :)

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

    The feature is called Taskbar preview and is not supposed to remain open after you remove the cursor from the icon. So it is working proper when it closes preview once the cursor is removed from the Taskbar icon.

    EDIT: I have seen Taskbar preview stick and stay open before myself even after the cursor has been removed but that not suppose to happen and I don't know for sure why it happens in the first place but I'm guessing it has to do with memory running low .....
