Windows 7 taskbar preview thumbnails disappear after full screen game

[brinstar117]

After I play any full screen game (2d or 3d game), my thumbnails only have little icons instead of a complete picture. If I click on the icons the pictures are refreshed. Still annoying though.

When Working:

After a Game:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

WDM destroys thumbnails of desktop applications in a few situations, to fix this switch to the application.

So there's no way to get it to just show a static version of the last thumbnail in these situations, instead of it ditching them completely? It's annoying to have to switch to every single window one after another just to bring back the thumbnails (not to mention that that completely defeats the purpose of the thumbnails in the first place).
