    is there a way to disable the hiding of other windows when peeking a application?


    normally its like:
    you hover a application thumbnail
    it hides all other application and shows the desktop and the hovered application

    is there a way to make it like:
    you hover a application thumbnail
    it brings the application to the front not showing the desktop and not hiding the other windows


    edit:
    notes:
    taskbar peek is on
    im not using activate windows when hover and its not it

    :)

  2. Hiding Applications

    Alright, this is not about minimizing applications. I want some way to hide an application from the taskbar (not closing it) and a simple way to open it back up without losing data. Any way how to do it?

  3. how to effectively hide or disable the taskbar?

    Hi,



    Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



    If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

    • Right click on Taskbar.
    • Click on Properties
    • Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on OK.


    Hope this information helps.

    Windows 10 Peek won't show preview for multiple of the same application

    Hello

    Up until 2 weeks ago Windows Peek was working fine, I could see preview for all the different instances open for an application (for example multiple browser windows, or explorer). But now I can only see previews if there's only one instance running. If
    there's multiple then it changes to a list style showing only the title of the specific window.

    Is there any way to fix this? I tried turning Peek off and on but it doesn't seem to resolve it.
