Win386 ran individual "V8086" processes -- which was a key feature of the Intel 386 processor running in Protected Mode -- in a completely preemptive multitasking way.
What about Win286/running Windows 3.1 on an 80286?
On a 286, Windows 3.1 ran in 'standard' mode, so it had only cooperative multitasking. Preemptive multitasking was confined to 386 or higher, on which Windows 3.1 ran in 'enhanced mode'.

That's not right... see my reply above.
