    Alt-Tab broken after Windows update


    I just had to update to version 1903 of Windows 10 Pro on my laptop as apparently the version that was installed previously will no longer be supported. And now the Alt-Tab feature seems to be broken. How do I fix it?

    :)

    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.
