When you hover over an opened app in the taskbar, you will get a small thumbnail preview of the app’s window. Just like the below screenshot:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you then hover over the thumbnail preview of that app, Windows 10 will show you a full-screen live preview (peek) of that app on your desktop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But sometimes the taskbar preview feature just gets in the way. In this tutorial we’ll show you how to disable taskbar thumbnail preview and full-screen preview in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Part 1: Disable Taskbar Thumbnail Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run dialog box, type regedit<\/strong> and hit Enter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the following path. Right-click on the Advanced<\/strong> key, and then select New<\/strong> -> DWORD (32-bit) Value<\/strong>.
\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced<\/code><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Name the new DWORD ExtendedUIHoverTime<\/strong>. Next, double-click it and change its value data to 9000 in decimals. Windows 10 will show the thumbnail preview after 9000 milliseconds (or 9 seconds) of hovering over any opened-app in the taskbar. This should be more than enough to effectively disable the taskbar thumbnail preview feature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Restart your computer to make the changes take effect.<\/p>\n

Part 2: Disable Taskbar Full-Screen \/ Live Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use a similar method to disable taskbar full-screen or live preview in Windows 10. Just open Registry Editor and browse to the same location:
\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced<\/code><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Create a 32-bit DWORD value named ThumbnailLivePreviewHoverTime<\/strong>, and change the value to 9000 milliseconds or a higher delay time. You will no longer see the taskbar full-screen preview when hovering over the thumbnail preview for less than 9 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
