Disable taskbar preview in Windows 10

I have already tried adding the registry entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced as ExtendedUIHoverTime with a value of 30000 seconds but it doesn't work. It still shows the Microsoft damned thumbnails, any idea?

Solution 1:

7+ Taskbar Tweaker can disable taskbar thumbnails. It's very lightweight and supports a lot of other useful customizations.

Solution 2:

I used this method:

In:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband

In the right-hand pane, right-click and choose New – DWORD (32-bit) Value . Give it the name NumThumbnails. You’ll create the 32-bit DWORD whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. By default, it should have a value of 0, which is what we want.
