[OS X] Mission Control not showing previewsThe image shows how Mission Control periodically shows only icons. How do I fix it so it shows the app previews? Thanks! |

I'm assuming you have already tried restarting? Does killall Dock fix it, at least temporarily? |

killall is a termal command that will quit the dock. Restarting the dock may fix the preview windows.
Open terminal and type
killall Dock
You'll see the dock disappear and reappear as OS X restarts it. Then try Mission Control again. Also try launching Mission Control using alternate keys including the MC icon, F3 or the mouse and see if you get any differences. |

If that doesn't work, try hovering over the icon and swiping up. This gesture is Zoom in Mission Control. Maybe somehow the preview window is there but totally minimized. |

If killall Dock worked, restarting the Mac should have worked. Weird. |

I guess I meant to say that it happened a while ago, I had rebooted, but didn't pay attention to the fact that the reboot cured it and the problem recurred. So, when you asked, I was referring to the fact that I rebooted recently (not when you suggested). In any event, thanks for your help |
