[Windows 11] Hover on taskbar apps don't get preview when open multiple windows of the same app
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've just bought a new laptop with win11 installed and although I'm seeing previews when hovering over the taskbar, I'm finding it nigh on impossible to click on the preview to bring the window to the fore: the preview disappears as I move the mouse from the taskbar to the preview. On win11, there's a vertical gap between the taskbar and the preview: on win10, there wasn't so there was no opportunity for focus to be lost.
FWIW I've enabled focus follows mouse like I have had since winxp days if that has any bearing.- I have that too if I have multiple instances of the same program, i.e., 2 word documents, 2 PDFs, 2 different Chrome browsers, etc... And I recently had another update and still no changes.
