    alt+tab stopped working


    I've always used alt+tab to switch between windows. For some reason it doesn't work anymore - nothing happens.
    The keys work individually.

    How do I fix this? Also, why did it stop working?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Then you should create a second account so that you can test things!

    Having a single admin account is risky anyway. What will you do if something goes wrong with it? You'd be in diabolical trouble, same as you would be if you had only one house key and mislaid or lost it. Happens all the time . . .

    I've always used alt+tab to switch between windows. For some reason it doesn't work anymore - nothing happens when i press alt+tab to switch windows.

    It just stopped working for some reason, and I don't know how to fix it. The individual alt and tab keys still work fine.

    Just to be clear Alt+tab used to work for me -- it worked fine ever since I installed win 10, but now it doesn't even though the individual alt and tab keys still work fine.

    How do I fix this? Also, why did it stop working?

    Thanks.

    It worked for me. Press ALT then one touch tab. you might see the TASKBAR ICONS. for example i have 3 opened, googlechrome windows defender and control panel. If you have windows defender opened note when you press alt+tab it switches you to the SECOND application

    I think I was unclear about my problem.
