Window vs. tab previews and virtual desktop support in Windows

Description of the issue:
I updated Windows 10 to version 21H1 and Brave at the same time, so I’m not sure what caused the problem and how to fix it. Previously, when I hovered over the Brave icon on the Task bar, I could see a preview of the windows running on the currently running virtual desktop. Now I only see the titles of all open tabs on all virtual desktops. So switching windows using the icon on the task bar has become completely unusable if you have a lot of tabs open.

How can this issue be reproduced?

Open multiple tabs on the default Windows 10 desktop 21H1
Open one or more other virtual desktops and additional windows and tabs in them
Hover your mouse over the Brave icon on the Taskbar

Expected result:
Brave should preview the active tabs of each individual window on the currently active virtual desktop or display the tab titles on the currently active virtual desktop.

Brave Version:
Version 1.30.86 Chromium: 94.0.4606.61 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
This is very critical.
Task switching alt+tab or win+tab still works fine.

This issue is resolved in current update:
Version 1.30.87 Chromium: 94.0.4606.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Expected result: preview the active tabs of each individual window on the currently active virtual desktop

Thank you for coming back to confirm this. Glad everything is working as expected.

Hello, I have to report the same issue again after updating Brave to version Release V1.31.88 (Oct 29, 2021)

Description is the same as reported for Version 1.30.86 Chromium: 94.0.4606.61 (Official Build) (64-bit)
