Windows 10: alt tab into desktop?

How do i alt tab into desktop like in windows 7?

I don't like w + d.

Alt + Tab = Monitor goes into standby/power saving mode.

Does you monitor actually go into Stand-By mode, or does the screen just turn black?

Either way you can try updating the video drivers. (Drivers | GeForce)

If the monitor is on, but displaying a black screen; try hitting ALT + Enter instead of ALT + TAB.

Most games will then switch from Full Screen to running in a Window. That way you can whatever is you need to (f.ex. changing channels in TeamSpeak), then go back to full screen gaming with Another press of ALT + Enter.

And if you have access to, or can borrow another monitor, try connecting it to your computer to see if the issue remains.

Hey I've been having this problem lately that makes my screen turn off/ goes into standby mode. It sometimes happens when Iaunch a fullscreen game and very often my screen turns off when I Alt Tab out. I can still hear all the audio in the background and
I can still speak to my friends through Teamspeak. But I can't press or do anything at all. I've tried setting up HRC (HotKey Resolution Changer). But since I cannot press anything I can't use it. Would help a lot since I HAVE to restart my computer in order
to work again...

Steps to recreate:

(1) Start any fullscreen game. (sometimes blackscreen)

(2) Alt Tab out.

(3) Do anything on windows 10.

(4) Alt Tab in.

(5) Black screen, Can't do anything.

(6) Restart computer.

(7) Back to step 1.

Hi vistascape, welcome to Ten Forums!

Unfortunately it doesn't look like this is an option anymore.

*Start + d is a quicker way to switch rather than seeing all windows using alt + tab.

However if you still really want to use alt + tab, you could check out something like Auto Hot Key - superuser.

Good luck *Smile.

 

"WinFlip3D" finds it so it must be assignable to the system. Doesn't play very well with 'virtual desktops' though.
