How to always show taskbar thumbnail previews?

Normally taskbar thumbnail previews are shown when there's not too many windows open, as seen below:


However if there's too many windows, thumbnail previews are no longer shown:


Is there a way to always show thumbnail previews, even if I have more than ~15 windows open?

I'm on Windows 10 Version 20H2.

Thanks,

Also, there's always WinKey+Tab when there's too many windows in the list...

I had it on "Always, hide labels". I tried "never combine" but it doesn't seem to affect the limit.

Hello dismas, This would be from the taskbar threshold limit to show a list instead of thumbnails. You can change the threshold limit using the tutorial below to increase it. Setting it to "0" (zero) will always show thumbnails.Change Taskbar Thumbnail Threshold to Show List in Windows 10

It seems increasing the threshold limit works, up to a point. It seems no matter what I set it to, it switches from showing thumbnails to a list at over 19 windows. It's still an improvement to be sure.
