Windows 10: peek to desktop no longer works, even though selected.

Windows 10 Peek to desktop no longer works, even though the option is selected in Settings. I cannot reach the desktop at all, as when I close all other windows, the Start screen pops up instead! Why has this just started happening?

Taskbar Aero-Peek doesn't work with more than one window

Hi Alex,

Double check if Aero Peek is enabled:

• Click Start Menu
• In the search box, type in performance
• Select Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
• Under the Visual Effects Tab, make sure the following are checked:

• Enable Aero Peek
• Enable desktop composition
• Use visual styles on windows and buttons

5. Click OK.

If that didn't work, run the Aero Troubleshooter.

• Click Start Menu
• Type in troubleshooting
• Press Enter
• Select Display Aero desktop effects
• Click Next.

Let the troubleshooter finish the process and it will restart the Aero Peek feature.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
