    Alt/Tab has changed


    I recently upgraded from W7 to W10. On W7 alt/tab would expand each open application window such that they were full size when alt/tab'd or mouse'd over to it. But on W10 they do not show full size unless you bring the app into focus by releasing alt/tab. I suspect MS did that because on W7 they had a bug whereby the list of open icons would fall behind current windows. But that was fixed with with a 3rd party app (AltTabFixOnce.exe).

    Does anyone know how to get back the W7 form of alt/tab?

    [Question] Changing Alt-Tab browser

    Opening programs changes Alt+Tab Order

    The problem I'm having is that when I open a new file in a program that is already open, all of the windows of that type are brought to the foreground with the new one in front (theres a more detailed explanation at the bottom if this is not clear). This
    becomes an annoying problem when I try to use alt+tab because now the order of my programs is completely messed up and takes switching between multiple windows over and over again. I've never had this problem in windows 7, 8, or 8.1 so I think it may be a
    new feature in windows 10. This has really been annoying me and really hinders productivity. I have been unable to find any solutions for it. Please Help!

    Detailed explanation:

    Say that I have 4 windows open: one browser, word file A, and word file B, and one pdf. I am working between the PDF and the browser and am happily alt+tabing to switch between the two. The order of my alt+Tab list is : browser, pdf, word A, word B.

    Next I need to open another word document (word C) for reference or later use. I open the document, but when the file opens in word, the window with word A and the window with word B come to the foreground, then word C comes up as my active window. Now the
    order of my alt+tab list is: Word C, Word A, Word B, browser, pdf.

    This means that I have to alt+tab 4 times and then 5 times to bring the browser and pdf back to the foreground. I want to make it so that when I open word C, it opens as the active window and does not bump the other word documents up as well. The alt+tab
    order should be: Word C, browser, pdf, word A, word B.
