    Background process 'Start' and 'Window' appearing in alt+tab


    Hi all,


    I have an ongoing issue with two background processes appearing when I use alt+tab - one called 'Start' and one called 'Window'.


    Background process 'Start' and 'Window' appearing in alt+tab 0f099b00-0f6d-4aca-8ed4-ce83f5f68c65?upload=true.png


    I have figured out that the Start program is the new start menu service, and of course I am able to force close this through task manager, but it will automatically appear again in alt+tab after using the start menu. The other process, 'Window' does not appear in the task manager.


    I am also not able to close these through the task manager by tapping 'delete', like with other apps.


    Has anyone else had this issue, and discovered a fix? It's driving me insane!

    :)

    alt + tab not working

    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.
