I recently installed a new graphics card (a GTX 1060, and yes, I removed all the remnants of the AMD drivers) and ever since then, if I have more than one window of the same app opened, it won't show the thumbnail when I mouse over the taskbar button. If there is only once instance open, it shows.

For example, if I open Outlook, the preview shows, but if I open an email (where now there are two Outlook windows open) it only shows strips with the name, but no thumbnail.

This applies to all programs.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64.

Any ideas (besides installing from scratch, I already thought of that lol)?

Might want to try resetting visual, or aero, effects. I remember in Windows 7 I had a program that would mess up visual effects and I had to turn off, save, turn on, to get them working correctly again.

Alright, I went through a ton of Aero troubleshooting to no avail.

The really weird thing here is that if I have more than one program open and one has more than one window open but the other does not, the one with the single window will still show the preview, while the one with multiple windows won't. That's very odd...
