Windows 10: Disable Windows 11 Print Preview

Please help me figure out how to disable this pop up screen that appears in every app when I hit print. It started as soon as I updated to Windows 11. Is this a Windows issue? A Microsoft Edge issue? I've tried a few things, including a registry edit for Edge to no avail. Perhaps I am not searching for the right fix. Thanks for any insight/guidance.

Failed to disable Peek Preview in Windows 11

Hi, everyone!

To implement some custom fetatures I need to disable peek preview for the window. So I call DwmSetWindowAttribute with DWMWA_DISALLOW_PEEK set to True to disallow peek preview. It works well in Win7 and Win10 but in my newest Win11 machine, it sill shows peek preview when the mouse hovers over the window's thumbnail in the taskbar.

And I use a demo from VS2019 to reproduce this bug and still it works well in Window 7 and Window 10, but not in Windows 11.

I also read the SDK document and I don't find changes relevant to this behavior. Do I misuse this interface? If you know the right way to disable it, let me know plz~~

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open Visual Studio 2019 and New C++ Desktop Project.
   
2. With a built-in demo, disable peek preview with DwmSetWindowAttribute
   

1. Add link dependency dwmapi.lib
   
2. Compile and Run
   
3. Window shows but it still shows peek preview.
   

Expected behavior

No peek preview in Windows 11 22000.829

 

Windows 11 Print Preview Issue

Hi all,

I was recently contacted by somebody in my department about printing issues that they were having. When they try to open the print preview through any microsoft product or any webpage, it hangs (~5 minute load time) before finally allowing the print preview dialogue. They are running windows 11, up to date OS and drivers, and are sure that the issue is not printer related. They can "quick print" from outlook and adobe acrobat with no issues. Additionally, they experience this if they are working remotely or on site, and they have verified it is not the printer. Any advice about how to tackle this problem? It is certainly something related to the laptop that they are using, and everything I found online was not helping (I disabled printer notifications, and I disabled microsoft print to PDF)

any help is appreciated, thanks.
