Windows 10: Setting "Use Peek to preview the desktop..." grayed out

My desktop computer has Windows 10 Pro. It is set up with five accounts: four user accounts and one administrator account. All accounts have access to the same software. One of the user accounts has a problem with Settings > Personalization > Taskbar where the “Use Peek to preview the desktop…” is grayed out. How can I get that ungrayed so it can be used? None of the other accounts have this problem. Attached are a couple of screenshots. The Performance Options > Visual Effects screenshot is from the administrator account.
