    Alt-tab switching intermittently stops working


    Hi All,

    I have what looks like a weird driver issue with my keyboard. Alt-tab switching intermittently stops working in Windows 10. Sometimes this happens after the computer wakes up from sleep, but sometimes simply after some time has passed. The keyboard keeps working normally, but the switcher doesn't appear. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers multiple times, and it didn't help. This started happening after I changed desks and unplugged and re-plugged everything in my pc. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

    :)

    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.
