Aero Peek not working in Windows 7

By Windows Club | November 10th, 2009 . Filed under: Tips. Tags:

If you find that the Aero Peek feature is not working in your Windows 7 even after you have enabled it through the Control Panel, or through the Taskbar & Start Menu Properties box, it is quite possible that you may have tweaked your visual settings, as a result of which your Aero Peek too may have got inadvertently disabled.

Perhaps this may help you:

Open Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools > Adjust Visual Effects.

Ensure that the Enable Aero Peek box is checked.

Also ensure that:

- Enable desktop composition &
- Use visual styles on windows and buttons

is checked. Clicked Apply > OK.

Better still, select Let Windows choose what’s best for my computer and click Apply/OK.

It should help!

But iff it doesn’t help maybe your Desktop Manager Session Manager Service has been disabled and the Desktop Window Manager too disabled.

In such a case you may want to see this post on How to troubleshoot & Fix Aero issues in Windows 7.

    Hi,

    I just wanted to share that i had issues with the Aero suddenly stopping working.

    For me, i eventually noticed that the colour had been dropped on my display settings to 16 bit. After changing this back to maximum 32 bit, all started working again.

    Hope this helps others?

    Thanks

    Andrew
