How to stop the popup preview for taskbar icons ?
If I hover over a taskbar icon, I get a popup with a miniature view of the target page. This is very recent. I have no idea how I might have caused that. I haven't been in the registry recently. ...
You didn't accidentally change anything. Microsoft fundamentally rewrote the Windows 11 taskbar in the 24H2 update (released in early 2025) . This new taskbar architecture completely broke the old registry tweaks that used to disable thumbnail previews.
