I have recently set up a new install of Windows 7 and I have just noticed that when alt-tabbing I am not getting Aero-Peek previews as I am accustomed.
I have checked to make sure that aero-peek is enabled in both the taskbar properties (and taskbar icons do show previews!) as well as in system performance settings. Both are enabled.
I even looked at a couple of registry edit solutions, but the key I am supposed to edit is not present (adding it did nothing). Even Alt-Tab Tuner hasn't solved the problem.
Any other ideas?
Have you installed the latest graphics drivers? – Mr. Hargrove – 2016-09-29T17:46:16.097
@Mr.Hargrove Yes. The driver was issued two weeks ago. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE – 2016-09-29T17:51:32.670
1and you've tried looking in the registry for: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM See the right side, you'll find a DWORD value called EnableAeroPeek and set it to 1? – Mr. Hargrove – 2016-09-29T17:55:16.727
@Mr.Hargrove It is already set to 1. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE – 2016-09-29T18:09:24.150

Are you looking for 'Win+Tab' ? – RogUE – 2016-09-30T06:54:27.000
@RogUE No, good sir. I am not. That continued to function perfectly throughout my ordeal. (And I don't like it). I already solved my own problem, as well, see below. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE – 2016-09-30T15:57:07.613
