    Peek At Desktop messed up


    HI all,Another problem out of the box Of course, its windows! in my newly purchased dell XPS17 which runs on windows 10 pro, 11 gen i7, 32Gb ram, nVidia Geforce 3060.... $3400 in total!The peek onto desktop functionality, accessed through the peek button on the far right end of the task bar, seems to be graphically broken. despite all the graphical might of my barely 2 weeks old laptop. I have uploaded a video to my Onedrive so you know exactly what I am talking about.any idea that on earth is going on?https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmOE1RksCsmWvHwDyujAGV4-Qrv1?e=tLIW32

  3. Peek at desktop functionality

    I can't use peek at desktop unless I'm using a maximized window. I used to be able to peek at the desktop with multiple windows open, but this is no longer the case. The button doesn't even show up when I have side to side windows. Is there a way to bring
    back the old functionality?
