    Alt-Tab not working like it usually should?


    I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I'm running the latest Windows 10 (new PC build) and alt-tabbing isn't working how it used to (at least how I think it used to). For example, I have Edge, OneNote, and Spotify open, and I continuously alt-tab between Edge and OneNote. So I would expect alt-tabbing to only go between Edge and OneNote. But sometimes instead of going back to Edge from OneNote, for example, the app order in the alt-tab windows will remain the same and it will try to bring me to Spotify. This is seemingly random to me - sometimes I can alt-tab flawlessly and endlessly between Edge and OneNote, sometimes it just brings me to Spotify. This is really messing up my muscle memory Alt-Tab not working like it usually should? :p did they change the functionality or how I can fix this? TIA

    alt + tab not working

    Alt-Tabbing in & out of games does not always work. It can also crash games in some cases.

    alt + tab not working

    Alt+Tab only works if there is something in the background to switch to. If there is nothing to switch to (the game that has focus is the only thing running), the command isn't executed.
