    alt + tab not working

    Just found a really cool way to make alt+tab INSTANT!!!

    In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder

    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.

    Why are the Alt-Tab posts being "locked" down?

    Windows 10 random tabbing in everything and alt tab problem

    Hi Donna,

    Yes, it happens on all programs, may it be desktop, windows sign in screen, everywhere.

    I tried the ff. but it doesn't work.

    press shift five times

    press shift for 8 seconds

    uninstalling the laptop keyboard

    I just found out that the TAB key has no function and the following keys (Right Shift, Caps Lock, BackSpace, Num Lock, T, Y, [, ], 4, 8)does its function but keeps on tabbing continuously until I press the keys that functions normally.

    Alt+Backapace is functioning as Alt+Tab but it keeps on tabbing.
