I wanted to disable the built in preview server which keeps running on port 63342 but found no option. Some Stackoverflow threads suggested to look for “preview” in the Find action menu, so i did, i disabled some and now this happened. it aslo managed to hide my Windows Menu bar at the bottom somehow …
How do i get it back?

Ah i got it … Had to disable new UI … then i found the option to “Exit fullscreen” and then re-enabled the new UI … and back to normal now.
Still would like to disable running of preview server because this laptop isn't the best and i'd like to control what's running to keep it light.
I disabled everything under Settings → Tools → Web Browser and Preview
but it's still running
It's probably quite lightweight, but still …
What is the exact process you intend to disable?
Probably, you want to disable some of the bundled plugins ("Settings | Plugins" - uncheck the support of technologies you don't use in your current project).
Hm thanks, i tried to, but couldn't figure out which one was the culprit so i figured it's built in?
This depends on your project framework. Which one do you use? Disable all the plugins mentioning names of frameworks you don't use, and list the rest.
