Windows 7 Aero Peek preview trouble

[dsp_418]

hi all,

I've installed the latest beta.
After having tried some themes with no luck to make them working, at certain time the Aero Peek preview stopped working. Now the item under the Taskbar properties is turned grey and I'm not finding a way to activate it again.
Is there something I can do? some hidden option...?

Thanks for any hint.

It seems like you are facing an issue with Aero Peek preview after installing the latest beta version of Windows. If the Aero Peek preview feature has stopped working and the option is greyed out in Taskbar properties, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Restart Windows Explorer:
   • Sometimes, restarting the Windows Explorer process can resolve issues related to Taskbar features. You can do this by:
     • Pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
     • Right-click on Windows Explorer in the Processes tab and select Restart.
   []Check Visual Effects Settings:
   • Ensure that the visual effects settings are configured correctly. To do this:
     • Right-click on This PC or My Computer and select Properties.
     • Click on Advanced system settings.
     • In the System Properties window, go to the Advanced tab and click on Settings under Performance.
     • Make sure that Enable Peek is checked under the Visual Effects tab.
   []Registry Check:
   • You can also check the registry settings related to Aero Peek to ensure they are configured correctly. However, be cautious when making changes in the registry:
     • Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
     • Navigate to the following key:

        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

     • Ensure that the DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime value is set to 300 (in milliseconds). If it's not there, you can create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with the name DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime and set its value to 300.
   []System File Checker (SFC) Scan:
   • Running an SFC scan can help repair corrupted system files that might be causing the issue:
     • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
     • Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Allow the scan to complete.
   []Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date as outdated drivers can sometimes cause compatibility issues with Windows features. By trying these steps, you may be able to resolve the issue with Aero Peek preview on your Windows system. If the problem persists, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.
