Windows 10: Issue with alt+tab and fullscreen Chrome (video inside)

I've been having this issue for over a year and haven't been able to find anything for it on Google. When I have a Chrome window in fullscreen, 80% of the time it won't appear as a window when I alt+tab.

Video here:

This happens even if the fullscreen window is just a regular website. The fullscreen window also doesn't appear when I try and alt+tab to it from another tab. If anyone has any suggestions, it'd be much appreciated!

Edge, fullscreen videos and Alt-Tab

Well met.

When I play a video in fullscreen with any browser and I alt tab to a window, the video remains in fullscreen behind the new window, so if the window is small I can still see most of the video while attending to the other windows.

In Edge, when I Alt-Tab, the video keeps playing, but it keeps minimized. The behavior I desire is that of the rest of the browsers. Is there a way to make it behave so?

I've searched several times but I've never been able to find any solution, the YouTube enhancer extension doesn't address it.

Apologies if I post in the wrong section, first time posting here and I couldn't see the other.

Thanks in advance.

 

What is the "magic" of alt+tab?

run in borderless windowed mode, and avoid that requirement of Alt+Tab. it looks the same as fullscreen, but it will fixed issues tied with running in Fullscreen.

 

alt + tab not working

Just found a really cool way to make alt+tab INSTANT!!!

In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder





This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.
