    Problem when using Alt + Tab while in a fullscreen video on Chrome


    Hi, I have an issue where when I am using Alt-Tab to change screen it duplicates and creates a "ghost" chrome windows which stay even after closing chrome. This bug is very erratic and I sadly don't know the exact way to reproduce it but it will be great if there is any way to have this fixed as it is a recurring issue since multiple years and on multiple browsers :https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/how-to-get-rid-of-multiple-tabs-while-doing-alttab/4f5a9f1b-2dff-48b8-97aa-d2de5741f974https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/duplicate-chrome-windowsinstanc

    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.

    Problem when using Alt + Tab while in a fullscreen video on Chrome

    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.
