Disable taskbar thumbnails

How can I disable taskbar thumbnails/previews in Start11? I've tried the proposed fixes in Windows Performance Settings, the two different registry keys, and the group policy editor. None of it has made any difference.

Hello,
From what I know, unfortunately, there is no such option within Start11 for it.

Thank you,

How do we go about putting in a request for this? It's a huge impediment to using the computer.

There is a Registry setting, provided by Stardock, available for disabling the taskbar previews.

Create a new String in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 and name it S11_HideTBPopups and set the Data Value = 1

All values are REG_SZ (string) type. Create the key with the specified value to enable the feature.

After manually editing registry keys, run Start11Config RELOADSETTINGS from a command prompt to apply changes or Restart Explorer.

Follow this link to the Support page where this change is located.

NOTE: You will need at least Start11 v.2 version 2.6.0.2 for this to work.
