Windows 10: Alt + Tab "All Desktops" setting in Windows 10 showing "Only the Desktop I'm using"...

There seems to be a glitch with the Multi-Task settings in Windows 10. I have 3 displays - a laptop and 2 external lcd displays connected via hdmi and a display port. One of the external monitors is set as the main display.


When selecting "All desktops" setting on "Pressing Alt+Tab shows windows open on:" it just shows everything open on main display. It should open windows on all 3 displays.


The reason I suspect this is a glitch is because if I choose the "Only the desktop I'm using" setting it produces the same results.


Also the setting "All Desktops" for "On the taskbar, show windows that are open on:" opens windows on all 3 displays, whereas the exact same setting for Alt+Tab only opens on 1 display.


The same thing happens in reverse with the "On the taskbar, show windows that are open on;". When you pick the "Only the desktop I'm using" it shows you windows open on all 3 displays.


I have tried unplugging monitors in one case it seemed to work briefly but went back to not working properly.


Is there something I am missing here? It seems like it has not been programmed correctly.


PS I am using a docking station to connect the monitors.

Alt tab shows windows on all desktops.

On Windows 10, when I alt tab, it shows the windows open on all of my open desktops. I found the setting in system/multitasking and its set on "Only the desktop I'm using", but it still shows windows on all open desktops. I've tried setting it to "All desktops"
and restarting, then changing it back and restarting and nothing I try seems to work.

 

Select Desktops to Show Open Windows in ALT+TAB in Windows 10


Am I missing something. In 10 Alt+Tab no longer switches between the desktop and open applications. You need to perform an extra step to get to the desktop

 

cant get ALT+TAB to show windows open on current desktop


Hi,

I've been trying this for a while, but I can't seem to get Alt-tab to show the windows on the current desktop. I've tried the tutorial here: ALT+TAB - Show Windows Open on Desktops in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums.

Initially it was set to show only on the desktop I'm using, but that wasn't working, so I changed it to all desktop, restarted, still the same alt tab behaviour. I then changed it to only on the desktop i'm using, restarted and it still hasn't changed.

I've even tried running the bat files and restarting after running the bat files but still nothing.

Anyone else experienced this problem? Or have any ideas to solve it?
