Windows 10: How to Make Windows 11 Task Switcher Outline Bigger/More Contrasted

Enjoying Windows 11 so far, but when using the Task Switcher ALT-TAB my poor old eyes are having a hard time seeing the slim black outline around the selected tile, especially against the grey background. Is there a way to customize that outline or background such that it is easier to see? I will take making it bigger, or a more contrasted color either via the background or the outline itself.

Task Switcher randomly gets stuck cycling windows


Good morning!

I am having an issue with the Task Switcher (see image below) activating on its own. It then begins to cycle through the open tasks very rapidly. When this happens I am unable to actually select any of the tasks, nor can I close them out. Windows is essentially frozen at this point and I have to restart.

A few things to note:

• I am running Windows 10 Pro.
• This happens randomly, sometimes weeks between an incident.
• Sometimes it happens while I am not even working at the computer. I've noticed it after returning to my desk.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Problems with Task Switcher

I use Remote Desktop for some programs as I am working at a remote site. I have always used Task Switcher to flick between this and open windows on my local drive - e.g. if i am entering a list of invoices onto the accounts program from an excel spreadsheet,
I will flick between excel and Remote Desktop.

This has worked fine up to now, but I have recently changed to a new laptop and now when I use Task Switcher to flick to Remote Desktop, my next key stroke doesn't register?! E.G if I typed 123, it would only be recorded as 23.

The implications could be quite disastrous - as an extreme example if I entered a figure on an invoice of £3 million, it would only be recorded as £300K !! Obviously I can edit it, but when running through a long list quickly it would be easy to miss.

Task Switcher and Task View Not Working Windows 10

The problem first appeared on one of my offices laptops when the user reported Alt+Tab not working. I verified that it was not a hardware problem. The Alt key and the Tab key both work fine. Other windows shortcuts such as Alt+F4 or Win+D work fine.

I then also noticed that Task View button is not responsive and does nothing. It seems that Task Switcher and Task View are both unresponsive.

Any suggestions or known issues? I couldn't find any resolved cases related to this issue by searching.
