2.) What happens to preview in the taskbar if I deactivate it in Windows 10 and 11!



If you disable taskbar preview on Windows 10 or 11, open windows will appear in a list instead. This can be helpful if you have many windows open and the thumbnails are taking up too much space.


After you turn off previews, the open windows will be displayed in a list instead. Hovering over a window in the list displays a preview of the window.

Disabling taskbar preview on Windows 10 or Windows 11 affects the way the taskbar behaves when you hover over open applications or icons on the taskbar. Taskbar preview typically displays thumbnails of an application's open windows or tabs when you hover over an active application's icon on the taskbar. If you disable this feature, the following will happen:

No more thumbnails: The thumbnails of the open windows or tabs in an application will no longer appear when you hover over an active application's icon in the taskbar.

Text descriptions remain: The text description text (usually the name of the application or window) remains displayed when you hover over the icon. So you can still see what program or window is open, but you won't get a visual preview of the content.

Reduced visual cue: Because thumbnails are disabled, you have less visual information about what's going on in the open windows. This can make navigating and switching between applications a little more difficult.


It's important to note that the exact way you turn off taskbar previews may vary slightly in different versions of Windows. Typically, you can do this in Settings or via Taskbar Properties. The exact steps may differ between Windows 10 and Windows 11.
