  1. Alt-Tab option doesn't exist in Settings > Multitasking


    I want to disable alt-tab from showing and switching between Microsoft Edge tabs. I know the way to do this is by going to settings > System > Multitasking, then there should be an option to change how alt-tab behaves. However, this option isn't showing for me, and I can't seem to find any solutions on the internet... Please help me, thanks!

    :)

    Alt-Tab Optimisation

    Hi Shane

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    There is only one setting available for the Alt-Tab functionality in Windows, there is some options, like only showing open applications, or Edge Tabs or a mix of both of those.

    Open the Settings App, then ho to System - Multitasking, there, you will find a drop down menu to set the behavior for the Alt-Tab shortcut.

  3. Weird alt-tab out of fullscreen games.

    Hi Simon,

    The multitasking capability of a game depends on the total memory of your computer. If you have large amounts of RAM on your computer, it can multitask heavy programs easily like high-end games. To ensure that we can provide the appropriate resolution
    for your concerns with the alt-tab function, we’d like to ask you a few questions:

    • What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Have you pressed the alt-tab key during you play Rainbow Six Siege? Or it just happen without pressing it?
    • Does the automatic ALT-TAB behavior happens on other games?
    • Do you have any other programs running on your computer while playing?
    • What is the anti-virus program you're using?
    • What is your device or system specifications? To know, follow these steps:
      1. Press Windows + S and type
        About your PC
        .
      2. Send us the information listed under Device specifications.

    Moving forward, if you're multitasking while playing, we recommend that you play this game only without doing other tasks. Pressing ALT-TAB or performing a multitasking interferes with the performance of your video card, especially if you're running a heavy
    game like Rainbow Six Siege. It will generate screen viewing issues like intermittently switching your game screen between your desktop environment.

    For now, restart your game and do not press ALT+TAB while playing. This will allow your video card to dedicate its graphics performance on the game only instead of your desktop environment.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

    alt + tab not working

    Just found a really cool way to make alt+tab INSTANT!!!

    In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder


    Alt-Tab option doesn't exist in Settings > Multitasking [​IMG]


    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.
