Left icons overlapping and taskbar thumbnail previews bugged

from Stardock Forums

Hi all, I've been havin an issue during the last few weeks, that started with the thumbnail preview of the current open windows I have (such as windows explorer, and so on). When I place the mouse over one of my opened programs, it's supposed to show a small preview of the window, but it doesn't (which also helps to choose which window I want to bring to front or maximize if there're multiple windows of the same program/app)

In addition to that, I just noticed that if I enable, change or disable the search bar, some of the icons are overlapped (its not just a visual bug, since I can open the windows even in the icons that're being overlapped). After a few testing, I also noticed that the icons that are being overlapped actually shows the preview of the window, but the others that are ok doesn't.

This is how it looks after enabling and then disabling the search bar

And as an example, when I hover the explorer icon, don't show the taskbar thumbnail preview above

And here, you can see the preview that didn't appeared before is being shown in the one that's being overlapped

 

Here's a video showing the bug and how it appeared. As a sidenote, even after "fixing" the icon, the taskbar thumbnail previews won't work

 

Any ideas of what can I do to fix this permanently?

 

I'm currently using the Windows 11 Home 22H2 and the Start11 1.41 version

Are you by any chance using a tablet like device?  I.e. one with a touchscreen?

Nope, this is happening on my desk computer and I don't have any kind of touchscreen or similar

I have this same issue. If I go into Settings > Taskbar, and click "Restart explorer", the previews will show up for a while. I don't know what causes them to stop showing up again

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, please do not post on multiple thread on the same issue. I have replied you on that other thread.

Thank you.
