[Windows 11] Hover on taskbar apps don't get preview when open multiple windows of the same app
Is this a glitch or features? I have the problem since the first Windows 11 Insider Preview (Dev Channel, Build 22000.51). But it seems haven't be fixed yet. My current OS build is 22000.176 (Beta Channel).
Hover on apps with one windows of the same app:
Hover on apps with multiple windows of the same app:

Thanks

- I've created a Feedback post about this, if anyone wants to go there and give it a Thumbs Up, to hopefully push it closer to the forefront so the MS Devs will see it.
https://aka.ms/AAfxndm- I would like to help but it says my account doesn't have access to your feedback...
- You need to login with a Microsoft account or your work /or school account (AAD).
So I here's how to resolve the issue:
Search for "View Advanced System Settings" in the windows search and open settings then:
Under Advanced tab -> Performance -> Settings
Uncheck and check "Enable Peek".
It will reset the setting and "Peek" will start working.
- This worked for me like. 👍
Thanks!! Eric_Yellin Thank you for the tip, thanks to your instructions I found that the "enable peek" box wasn't marked. I just marked it and the issue was fixed.
- Thanks for weighing in but Enable Peek was already checked. I did as you said and still no change. I even changed the setting to be Custom instead of letting Windows choose. Still no change.
This is really frustrating.Uncheck, apply, check again, apply. Worked for me.
- I just purchased a laptop that came with Windows 11 installed. I see that this issue still exists. Any updates on how to enable to hover feature yet?
- Like I mentioned earlier, try run Windows Update and download and install all updates and restart your PC.
In case problem persist, report it using the Feedback Hub app.This computer is new, has all updates. Your suggestion doesn't work.
Where is the "feedback hub"?
- I have the same issue. The preview works fine under one window but after the second or more I no longer see the previews.
- A reset of Windows did the trick. Fixed for me
- Thank you for the update and glad the problem fixed.
- I have the same issue on OS Build 22000.318
Can the issue come from updating from Windows 10 without fresh reinstall?- Have you guys try to update to Build 22000.346? I don't think this related to the upgrade from Win10.
- Yes, I'm actually on Build 22000.348. It is fixed on my Laptop, but not my PC, both upgraded from Windows 10.
