[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 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.
- I've reported that via the feedback mechanism. I cannot understand how such a fundamental issue has escaped Microsoft's engineers.
