Windows – How to completely disable the Task View feature in Windows 10

task-viewwindows 10

I want to disable Task View in Windows 10 completely. Is this possible?

Note: I know the button in the taskbar can be hidden by right-clicking it and unchecking “Show Task View button”. That’s not what I’m asking.

For example, when resizing and moving a window to the left half of the screen using Win + , Task View is also activated. I don’t want this. I want the old, Windows 7 behavior, where the window is moved and resized and nothing else happens.

If you only have 1 virtual desktop, taskview will not be active (default situation). So removing all virtual desktops except for the main one, and hiding the icon is all you need to do.

If you want to disable the overview screen, then go to start -> Settings -> Multitasking.

From the Snap menu, turn off When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it
