Whenever I switch video power-modes (causes re-init of something) I get the same issue.
Also often my wallpaper disappears and becomes all black.
Me too. Dell XPS1340, NVIDIA Hybrid SLI, Win7 Ultimate 64-bit, upgrade from Vista-64.
i get the same thing ever since i turned on aero peek
Nope; I have an entirely up-to-date Windows 7 Professional machine with exactly this behavior. The only way I've found to keep the Alt+Tab list on top is to disable Aero Peek altogether.
This mysteriously stopped happening. Now the alt tab preview sits above the peeks. Maybe an update fixed it.

Video is self explanatory.
The last sub title was cut short: "Without the previews, ALT TAB is degraded to trial-and-error window switching. Very frustrating!"
Afterthought: Shouldn't the timer for showing the window peek reset win you press tab to switch to a different window? If I let alt tab rest on a given window so I can get a peek, then I determine it wasn't the window I wanted, why should I have to instantly peek at all other windows when pressing tab?
