The Aero Peek feature is incredibly useful for me, but I want it to happen more quickly.
This question (answered by KronoS) tells how to change the delay time before the popups occur when hovering over the open application icons on the taskbar.
However, this registry tweak does not work to speed up the desktop peek functionality when the mouse is moved over the 'desktop' area of the task bar.
Any idea how to speed up this function?
Peek gives you the power of X-ray vision, so you can peer past all your open windows straight to the Windows 7 desktop. Simply point to the right edge of the taskbar—and watch open windows instantly turn transparent, revealing all your hidden icons and gadgets.
So far so good, and here is where it gets 'useful'
To quickly reveal a buried window, point to its taskbar thumbnail. Now only that window shows on the desktop.

Off Topic: if you want to pep up Aero Peek a little bit, have a look at T3Desk, a slick, 3D window manager with Aero Peek support.
Hover a specific thumbnail, and Aero Peek kicks in to display the program's shrunken 3D view.
Kudos to Lee @ downloadsquad.com for this find.
T3Desk is freeware.
I don't know if this completely disables Aero Peek but you can try this:
Additionally: in Personalization, are you using the basic theme instead of the Normal Windows 10 theme? Try disabling the Theme service completely and in the "Adjust appearance and performance of Windows".
