    Cant Alt + Tab to desktop on windows 11 now?


    I had a problem with my storage so I had to reinstall windows and now for some reason I cant alt tab to my desktop. I am on windows 11 and I was on windows 11 before I had to reinstall. I was able to do it before but I cant now. Im not to sure why and how to sort it out. It is very annoying and makes me want to throw my mouse at my monitor. Does anyone know how to sort this? Ta

    Windows 11: Alt+Tab with multiple Chrome windows open

    I have the following windows open in a Windows 11 desktop:

    • 3 Google Chrome windows (one with two tabs)
    • 1 Excel 2010 window (with 3 workbooks open)
    • 1 Windows Explorer window
    • 1 Adobe Acrobat window (1 document tab open)
    The focus is on the Excel window.

    I press Alt+Tab.

    This brings 1 of the Chrome windows into focus

    I press Alt+Tab.

    This should bring the Excel window back into focus?

    It does not!

    This brings the 2nd Chrome window into focus.

    To get the Excel window back into focus, I have to Alt+Tab 4 times, "past" the 3 Chrome windows and the Acrobat window.

    ****?

    Please tell me this is a defect that is going to be fixed soon and not some new behavior?

    Select Desktops to Show Open Windows in ALT+TAB in Windows 10


    Am I missing something. In 10 Alt+Tab no longer switches between the desktop and open applications. You need to perform an extra step to get to the desktop
