    ALT + TAB Not switching on release


    Hi,

    I've been having a bit of trouble with Windows the last few days, which has to to lead me to reinstall it over my current windows. Just mentioning it in case it might be relevant.

    But my problem is that I'm used to having to press ALT+TAB and it would display the open programs, and when I release the combo, it would switch me to the program. But now I've noticed that when I press ALT+TAB, and release the combo, the little UI thingy still stays open and I either need to click the choice or press enter or something. And this is really annoying since I switch programs on a regular basis and this extra step feels unnecessary.

    :)

  2. How to setting alt+tab?

    I opened 10 google chrome, and I want to switch one by one with alt+tab (without clicking taskbar icon)

    First, I used alt+tab. then it's switched to the next google chrome.

    but, when I used alt+tab again. it switched to the previous google chrome.

    and it happen again and again.

    if I want to switch to the next google chrome. I've to press alt+tab+tab, then alt+tab+tab+tab, and so on.

    I want to switch to the next tab with just alt+tab, and without alt+tab+tab and so on.

    how to change it?
