    Aero peek on Windows 7/64Bit sometimes not working


    Hello,

    I have a peculiar problem with aero peek. It sometimes just decides not to work anymore, and only shows labels instead of a preview. This is only temporary, because when I switch between other windows, the aero peek is activated again. I actually reproduced this behavior by switching to this post, and writing for 1-2 minutes. Hovering now only produced labels/tooltips. By switching to another window, aero was "activated" again.

    I have tried the "Find and fix problems with transparency and other visual effects", but Windows couldn't find any problems

    Thanks for your welcome!

    The scan didn't find any integrity violations, which should be expected since the laptop is brand new. So, what could it be?
