Windows 10: Alt-Tabbing Automatically Turns Maximized Applications into Windowed Form

Hello, when I alt-tab, applications that I originally had maximized e.g. Discord, Opera GX, Spotify turn into windowed form, and I have to re-maximize them. Window support was completely unhelpful and just told me this was a 'feature' of a new update, when it is clearly an annoying bug. If anyone here can tell me a potential fix or workaround for this, that would be greatly appreciated.I suspect it has something to do with the new Snap Windows setting in Windows 11, since Spotify resizes to the left side of my monitor every time. However, this is clearly not functioning properly, as even aft

Alt/Tab has changed


I recently upgraded from W7 to W10. On W7 alt/tab would expand each open application window such that they were full size when alt/tab'd or mouse'd over to it. But on W10 they do not show full size unless you bring the app into focus by releasing alt/tab. I suspect MS did that because on W7 they had a bug whereby the list of open icons would fall behind current windows. But that was fixed with with a 3rd party app (AltTabFixOnce.exe).

Does anyone know how to get back the W7 form of alt/tab?
