    ALT+TAB doesn't work.


    So, my alt tab does not really work. It temporarily freezes my computer and or/ becomes unresponsive for a short period of time. I alt tab and it shows the tabs that I can go into, but it stops from there. Then it proceeds to reload my desktop and task bar, and then the alt tab window disappears. This is really annoying when a game becomes unresponsive and I cannot get out of that game. If anyone could help me find where the file location is and how to fix it, that would be great.

    :)

    alt+tab stopped working

    I've always used alt+tab to switch between windows. For some reason it doesn't work anymore - nothing happens when i press alt+tab to switch windows.

    It just stopped working for some reason, and I don't know how to fix it. The individual alt and tab keys still work fine.

    Just to be clear Alt+tab used to work for me -- it worked fine ever since I installed win 10, but now it doesn't even though the individual alt and tab keys still work fine.

    How do I fix this? Also, why did it stop working?

    Thanks.

    Alt+tab doesn't work. Instead it acts like control+tab. How to fix this?: Alt+tab is supposed to swap between apps, and Control+tab is supposed to swap between tabs in the current app being used Edge/Chrome/etc. But with windows 10, Alt+tab acts like Control+tab instead.
