Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a very annoying issue on Windows 11. Whenever I move my mouse cursor over the taskbar icons (without clicking anything), the full Task View screen (the overlay showing open windows at the top and Virtual Desktops at the bottom) constantly triggers automatically.

Key details:
- I am NOT pressing Win + Tab or clicking any mouse buttons.
- Simply moving or hovering the mouse cursor across the taskbar triggers the Task View overlay repeatedly.
- It happens regardless of which mouse or pointing device I use.
- I want to stop Task View from triggering automatically when moving over the taskbar, so it ONLY opens when I manually press keys.
-- Important detail: This issue does NOT happen when I am on the clean Desktop. It ONLY happens when I have an application window open and active on screen (like Chrome, File Explorer, etc.).

Has anyone encountered this taskbar hover bug or knows how to disable this specific behavior?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. The attached photos were taken with my phone because while the Task View overlay is triggered, standard screenshot shortcuts (like Win + Shift + S or Snipping Tool) do not work. But that is what constantly pops up, and google antigravity tried more than 20 tricks , none of them worked.
