Blacked out preview windows on the taskbar

Postby 9knuckles9 » 25.01.2016 04:39:38

Hello,

When I have dexpot running, my preview windows turn black and i cant click on anything in the black. same for all apps (assume, ive tried chrome and explorer)
had an inconsistency with the glitch once, where the window previews were viewable for <0.5 seconds then turned black.
Is there a fix or windows aero setting somewhere that I need to change?

:dex:,

these are the previews for windows when hovering their taskbar buttons, right?
Does this occur right after a desktop switch? Unable to reproduce it on our machines.

yes these are the previews where you click on the icon to view the open windows. occurs every time (EVERYTIME, not just after switch etc.) i try to preview an app. running windows 10, however experienced it on 7 too. i have taskbar buttons set to always combine and hide labels. aero settings below

tried with your settings on 3 machines, still no luck. I've seen empty previews caused by Metro apps on other desktops (labels visible, clickable). Driver issue?

My graphics card is nvidia geforce GT 540M with recent drivers (361.43) (currently patching latest (361.75). I do have an all-in-one touchscreen pc.

UPDATE: new driver, problem persists.

doesn't make much of a sense, but great it's working for you now. Don't see any reasonable Google results for the issue either.
