  1. Alt tab randomly skipping windows.


    I just got the 20H2 update on windows 10 and for some reason sometimes when I alt tab it will skip the most recent window and go to the last one. Any idea if this is a known bug or if there is a fix?

    Alt-Tab randomly skips a window sometimes

    When I press alt + tab a couple of times, sometimes the pointer just skips a window and hops onto another one.

    Suppose there are three windows, A, B and C. I am alt-tabbing between A and B. So A, B, A, B. Then randomly, the pointer suddenly jumps to window C.

    So while alt-tabbing (I am pressing tab only once) it will go A, B, A, B, A, B,
    C.
    Here's a reddit post explaining the same
    .

    Note: I have OS build 19042.610, and this issue started occurring after I had updated

  3. alt + tab not working

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

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

    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.
