Windows 10: Alt-tab has a bug since 20H2

Hello, since 20H2 I found a bug.

I use alt-tab a lot to change between the last 2 windows repeatedly.

For example, I change from an Edge window to a Word document several times.

After installing 20H2, I noticed MS thought it was useful to include the Edge tabs in the alt-tab stack. So now if I am on Edge and alt-tab, instead of going to my word document, I go to the following Edge tab. This is ridiculous.

Anyway, I found a setting called multi tasking and I disabled Edge tabs.

Here comes the bug: let's suppose I open an Excel document, then use the mouse to change to the Edge window, and them change to the Word document.

When alt-tabbing back and forth, I change from Edge to Word and vice versa, but there's a bug because if I start to alt-tab several times, sometimes I get back to the Excel window.

I can assure you it's not me because I have been using this method for 20 years and I haven't changed keyboards or anything.

I can't reproduce the problem. It just happens randomly and it sucks that now I don't trust it so I have to use the mouse to change windows!

What is the "magic" of alt+tab?

I noticed alt-tabbing out of and back into Heaven lowers the benchmark result by 10% or so, which bugs me. Windows ...

Hello, here is a list of all keyboard shortcuts in W10:

Alt/Tab has changed


I recently upgraded from W7 to W10. On W7 alt/tab would expand each open application window such that they were full size when alt/tab'd or mouse'd over to it. But on W10 they do not show full size unless you bring the app into focus by releasing alt/tab. I suspect MS did that because on W7 they had a bug whereby the list of open icons would fall behind current windows. But that was fixed with with a 3rd party app (AltTabFixOnce.exe).

Does anyone know how to get back the W7 form of alt/tab?
