Open applications in Windows 10 keep minimizing
Posted on 2016-09-09
Some time ago I had Windows 10 configured such that mousing over a given application in the tray would pop up full screen views of what was open. For example, I could mouse over an Excel icon and it would pop up three thumbnails, and as I moused over each thumbnail a full screen presentation of it would take over the screen. When I had the one I wanted I could click into it. Then it started not working well, which I posted here, and was shown how to enable "Peek." But Peek would sometimes work, but often when I moved off the thumbnail it would disappear altogether. So I disabled Peek and it is worse. Many suggested just using Task View, which would be great, but has the same problem. When I click on Task View I get a desktop of smaller versions of every open file, but when the mouse moves off the Task View icon they all disappear. If I move slowly off the thumbnail, sometimes they do not disappear, but it seems random. So what I am asking for is help to get rid of anything like Peek, and make Task View stick; that is, not disappear. Seems like a simple thing, but driving me nuts and there are dozens of "fixes" with a Google search.

What you describe as "now" is has it has always been in Windows 10 for me right from the beginning a year ago.
I do not use Peek (awful to me).
The only other thing to consider is to:
(a) use Tablet Mode instead of Desktop Mode , and,
(b) a non-Classic Theme.

I checked around and cannot find anywhere where a hover will open a full screen. What I see is for large icons and non-classic themes, the size of the hover will be quite large.
I use small icons and classic theme and the hover is quite small (not readable but recognizable).

John, I always hope you will respond to my problem! This is interesting; I should have mentioned that the PC in question is a Toshiba tablet, but I access it with an HDMI monitor, routed through a KVM. So I did as you suggest, and now it is as I remembered from when it is new!
Just to be clear, perhaps for someone else that finds this on a search, it is not a mouse over, but if I click on, say, the Firefox icon on the lower tool bar, all of the open windows pop up a small preview across the bottom. As I mouse over preview to preview, they take turns being full screen. Then I can click into which ever one is in full screen at the moment.
Many thanks.
