    switching between shared and extended screen by using ALT+TAB


    Hi there.


    We use Office 365 PowerPoint for software training in the extended screen mode, because we need speakernotes on our laptop, presentation on a projector. The powerpoint is made for software training, but this software needs the shared screen option.


    During the training we have to switch between powerpoint and the other programm very often. And as you can for sure imagine, ALT+TAB is not enough.


    Does anyone have a solution, or at least an idea how to deal with that easy?


    Regards, Haifeif

    :)

    ALT + TAB Not switching on release


    Hi,

    I've been having a bit of trouble with Windows the last few days, which has to to lead me to reinstall it over my current windows. Just mentioning it in case it might be relevant.

    But my problem is that I'm used to having to press ALT+TAB and it would display the open programs, and when I release the combo, it would switch me to the program. But now I've noticed that when I press ALT+TAB, and release the combo, the little UI thingy still stays open and I either need to click the choice or press enter or something. And this is really annoying since I switch programs on a regular basis and this extra step feels unnecessary.

    alt + tab not working

    Alt+Tab only works if there is something in the background to switch to. If there is nothing to switch to (the game that has focus is the only thing running), the command isn't executed.
