✔️ Expected Behavior
Peek would display the images normally.
❌ Actual Behavior
Stopped responding, couldn't be closed conventionally, by closing PowerToys as a whole nor be terminated through Task Manager.
Other Software
No response
There has been a memory leak when previewing images with Peek, which could be related to this problem. It could be that there isn't enough memory to create a new bitmap for the preview.
I raised an issue for the memory leak in #33593 and have submitted a bug fix for the issue in #34484. Hopefully this will also fix your issue.
