  1. Alt+Tab not working at all


    I can't get Alt+Tab to function. Win+Tab works fine, as does Left-Alt+Right-Alt+Tab. But I need Alt+Tab for a lot of the multi-tasking I do, and Win+Tab just doesn't cut it. I've checked in settings, and the Alt+Tab option in there is set to "Only the Desktop I'm Using"; changing it has no effect, nor does changing it back.

    :)

  2. alt tab not working

    Alt Tab

    Selecting from the task bar

    Opening a link from Outlook

    Each of these should open edge (or switch to another application)

    None of them works with any consistency.

    It's making navigation between applications very cumbersome.
