Windows 10: Task bar preview not working most of the time

So I have an issue with the task bar preview not working while I hover over applications in the task bar. Most of the time nothing happens as it doesn't show the preview, then I switch between some programs and it starts showing the preview and later again nothing until I start switch between apps.


I have lots of different processes, services running in the background and I'm not sure if this issue has anything to do with them or maybe if it's a Windows problem.


I'm running Win 10 Pro 20H2 64bit. If any additional computer specs or anything else is needed I will post it here.

Thanks in advance. Marko

Cannot modify Task Bar settings

Hi,

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.
