Windows 7 - Aero Peek window previews flicker when displayed not allowing not the window selection.

When I move my mouse over one of the icons in the taskbar much of the time it will not display the Aero peek for windows previews. When he does it usually blinks for a few seconds then does not appear. The odd time, keep it visible it will allow me to get an overview of the windows by bringing to the forefront through one of miniature windows flying over my mouse but when I click to select a window it goes back to what I was on earlier. In the case of multiple windows of the same type, for example to say Firefox and download manager in firefox by clicking on the firefox icon in the taskbar is nothing, until I navigate to and close one of the two windows manually. It became a major problem with my daily use of my computer so much so, in fact, that I returned to the use of Linux Mint during the bulk of my computer daily as it does not take me an excessive amount of time to navigate between windows. If anyone has suggestions as to how this can be fixed it would be much apreciated and would allow me to start using Windows 7 even more.

I tried to run the troubleshooter several times with no results yet. The driver is up to date and working properly, I tried unintsalling, restart and reinstall the driver 64-bit Windows 7, with no change in the problem. I can try a reinstall of Windows 7 because it won't cause a lot of data loss with separate OS and partitions of data.

  • Aero Peek doesn't work now does not

    Here's all the sordid details.  Mobile workstation HP 8760w with Nvidia Quadro 3000 M GPU, 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7 64-bit, 128 GB SSD,... etc. 18 months of use, has been remarkable.  Last week, Aero Peek suddenly stopped working. I tried all sorts of things, including the following, without result;

    (1) restoration of the system of at least three different times, earlier (no updates were applied before failing Aero).

    (2) deleted the cache of WIndows Experience Index and re-reun coast at least a dozen times (it must be deleted or it crashes) (result of-7, 1-7.5)

    (3) personalization troubleshooting Aero reports without errors or questions.

    (4) Microsoft FIxIt Aero Troubleshooter says my video can't run Aero (though again, it has 18 months).

    (5) deleted, updated, modified, deleted, updated, changed... For the Quadro 3000 M NVIDIA drivers (even to aid version of HP on their Web site).

    (6) update of the BIOS and other firmware/drivers from HP on this laptop.

    7) opened a case with Nvidia (still in the wait - they ask me if I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, even though I told them that I have 10 times).

    (8) tried to run without Nvidia software installed at all.

    (9) checked for EnableAeroPeek registry entry by many other suggestions and articles. Even some added and then removed the other.

    (10) created a new Admin profile locally on the laptop.

    (11) run a SFCScan and it came back fine.

    Aero options do not appear in the Visual effects and the opton use Aero Peek in the properties of the Start Menu is grayed out.  It sent me down a lot, a lot of articles.  No resolution.  Everyone has been through this pain?

    I'll put my SSD in another laptop as she (we bought 4 of them at the same time) to see if it's related material... but nothing else that seems the Aero affected, so I'm skeptical, it's going to do anything.  I'm just * hope * Miss me something.

    If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

    Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far. I recommend that you upgrade to IE10 after uninstalling this update (if you updated with that and faced the problem) to get rid of the update forever. But do it at your own risk, because I never updated my machine with this defective update and see if that caused any problems with my machine.
  • Firefox does not appear in "partial" mode I can't get the display full screen or reduced display, not the intermediate partial screen window.

    The 'partial screen' icon does not work. When it is selected, the screen is reduced to the minimum. (Hover displays the text 'restore down', that doesn't look right.)

    When the screen is reduced to a minimum, I have to hover over the preview, right - select optimize for any screen at all, and it's the display full screen.

    Difficulty? I tried to uninstall/re-install has not fixed the problem.

    Hello rclacher, try this to reset the settings of user interface in firefox: go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open upwards - in there remove the file named localstore.rdf - it will be regenerated the next time you launch the browser.

  • Firefox only displays not the complete its preferences window; Why the low option is partially hidden

    Row of the bottom of the Preferences tab windows displays only partially. Well... it's weird... when I opened the preferences window, (to describe correctly the question) and switches between the last row of buttons (tabs, content, etc.), all of the options and then displayed. I wish I had done a screen shot earlier. Actually, it happened... honest!

    You can resize the window by dragging the borders?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
  • Windows 7 - Aero Peek doesn't work

    Hello!

    Well, it looks like Aero peek working at all. It is activated in the task bar, and in the task 'Visual effects', everything is selected. I am also unable to flip flop.

    I use Windows vista edition Home premium that I just bought.
    Any advice?

    Hello Nico884,

    With all the steps that have been taken to solve the problem, it is rather likely, not a setting, but a corrupt user profile. You will not lose any software that you have installed by using a new user profile. You can easily transfer your data to the new profile so, take a look at the difficulty of a user profile is corrupted.

  • Taskbar does not appear Aero peek, or overview of windows!

    I just installed windows 7 Home Premium and I can't seem to get the aero peek and the preview of the windows in the bar to work...

    Any suggestions?

    (I tried all the settings, but in the taskbar properties, [desktop preview with aero peek] is represented in grey so I can't change the options, and when I put the cursor on IE, it shows just lists of IE Windows opened not previews)

    Control Panel/troubleshooting/appearance/Aero

    Run this will maybe tell you why it's a failure.

  • "Aero Peek" selects windows on top, but after a second selected window is coming back, behind other windows. __

    When I use Aero Peek and select 1 window to bring it over the top, he goes there, but after a second, he goes back and hides. Sometimes it is on top a little longer, sometimes it's on the top of page continuous, but especially it goes back bihind other windows. If, during the selection, I press the right button of pouts and use 'move' for selected window-, it helps. This problem mostly appears when I try to select the window which is not maximasied, while the other window/s are maximased.

    I use Windows 7 proffessional with 2 monitors.

  • HP Pavilion 15n - upgrade issues lower windows 7 (FN, aero peek and sleep keys)

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion 15 (n097), which is pre-installed with windows 8... naturally I went down to Windows 7 and installed as a good number of pilots required system I could get my hands - everything seems to have worked pretty well, the only problem now is that:

    (1) I have no option "sleep" in the start menu, it is grayed out (only to stop, restart and hibernate are available)

    (2) making the skimming between surprisingly heavy programs is not supported by aero peek

    (3) none of the function buttons work

    I would be VERY grateful if anyone knew where I might be able to install the necessary drivers so that I can fix these problems were.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Aero Peek, Aero preview thumbnails do not disappear

    Titles are always difficult, especially in this case.

    The icons on the taskbar - when I hover over them, they pop up displaying the list of windows related to this icon.

    Well, after that installation of Windows since long several updates, the list of "pop-up" doesn't go away when I stop hovering over him.

    It's driving me crazy. I need actually to click on something in the list that appears before he goes. If I accidentally go over it while moving the cursor, then he overcome everything that I do until I get out of my way to select an item in the list. The list does not disappear when I click on a window, when I click on an item in the list.

    To look into this further, I think that this only happens when I have enough windows open, but it could be that some windows that cause it to happen. I use these programs for a long time however, and they have never caused-for most things like Sublime text and Visual Studio 2013 Communityand a game or two. I'm sure this is a result of the update of Windows.

    George,

    The term you want, it's Aero Peek [people often refer to it as Aero Preview as well].

    I think that you will have more good users write down your question if you are using the question title - Aero Peek, Aero preview thumbnails do not disappear [just click on the link change under your question and it allows you to change the title].

    Additional: You mentioned the updates, I think you should check for any updates for your display driver, as it seems a likely candidate for such a problem of display.

  • That is why when I right click on the Firefox icon I get a purple flag with "new private window? No there is no way to remove this item?

    I'm a prisoner of the "new private window? Is it OK if I don't want that? God is going to punish me? It certainly looks that way.

    I got Win 10 for 4 months and until yesterday, 11/10, I didn't even know about the 'new private window' and the flag purple now appears when I right-click on the Firefox icon. Someone tried to help her by suggesting new privacy settings. So I lost most of my desktop shortcuts but not the private window! I'll be back most of the shortcuts, but I'm still stuck with the purple flag company. I have a background of tech and only for this reason that I try to keep things simple. It is vital that, how did you before? Any help or clarification will be appreciated. Thanks for listening.

    I'm more interested in the case when this number is smaller than the total.

    Hello

    I think you mean the text stating "x of there matches", to the right of the box where you entered the search term.

    The first number ("x" in my example above) indicates the current entry highlighted on the page that matches the search phrase. If you use the upper and down arrows to navigate through the instances of this term on the page, you will see this number go up and down.
