Windows 10: Windows 11 24H2 - Bug aero peek

Hello everyone, I have Windows 11 24H2 updated to the latest version available. I noticed a bug. When I move the mouse cursor over any of the icons on the taskbar, I correctly see the preview of the respective windows via the aero peek function but when I click on the previews it does not set the window to the foreground but the wallpaper is displayed. Any advice to solve it?

:)

 

Aero Peek is not Working

I cannot see the Aero Peek. In my Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window, under Preview desktop with Aero Peek, the box next to Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop is checked but is grayed out. Please help.

 

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.

 

Windows "aero-peek" reqularly only presents blank program icon

Hi!

1. This happens with UWP programs and with "normal" ones. For example this happens with Spotify downloaded from Windows store and with Office products like Word and Excel which are not UWP programs.

2. This issue has been present for several months now.

3. Yes I have F-secure Safe installed and running

Aero peek is already enabled from visual settings, as mentioned on my first post, aero peek does work but regularly it just stops working.

I have already the latest display drivers installed. Also as I have been facing this issue for months now, I have updated my display drivers several times during this with no effect.

You can barely see it in the picture, but below the "blank" program icon you can see spotify controls that are part of the Spotify aero peek. So the aero peek is there but the blank program icon prints on top of it.
