    What happened to windows Alt+Tab desktop shortcut [​IMG]

    Hi Guys Remember when we could navigate to windows desktop easily?Well I don't know what happened to windows and they changed the feature or that I don't know how to use the feature anymore.
    I used to enjoy using alt+tab to go to desktop ,But now as we use the keys we can only navigate between different open applications as we can see from the screenshot above.
    See below for Task view

    What happened to windows Alt+Tab desktop shortcut [​IMG]
    They added the task view in windows 10.Is it even helpful? Does anyone know if its helpful?
    It seems to me that this feature is kind of useless because if sometimes games crash the new desktop doesn't respond much.
    I would love to know what others think about this windows feature and is it helpful? what is it really for.
    Backing up to my first Picture ,Isn't it kind of annoying that they changed the alt+tab shortcut and or forgot to add the shortcut.
    For me sometimes I'm doing studies and navigation is a problem .lol if you know what I mean.
    Can'tttttt just go to desktop If you know what I mean *Biggrin
    Anyways if someone doesn't get me this is what I was saying.
    Anyone knows how to add the old windows alt+tab shortcut to windows 10?

  2. Alt + Tab not fully functional in full window programs

    I've been having an issue since upgrading to Windows 10 that involves using the Alt + Tab shortcut to switch between open windows/desktop. I play a couple of different games that go to full screen during gameplay, and I found that when I use alt+tab to
    return to the desktop, that the screen does not switch properly to another window that is open or the desktop for that matter. On top of that, as soon as I release alt+tab, the full screen application I was in automatically becomes the main focus again. I
    find that I must continue to press the alt key to be able to look at or do anything. It was not this way in Windows 7, and I don't have any experience in using this shortcut in Windows 8. I was curious if anybody else was experiencing this same issue.

  3. ctl alt del

    That doesn't happen in Solitaire. What is the purpose of the maneuver? Has the game frozen? It is possible the game has disrupted Windows &/or the display adapter driver.

    Then, try Ctrl+Alt+Del.

    Try...

    Keyboard shortcut to go straight to Desktop: Win key + D

    or...

    Right-click on taskbar - select Show the Desktop

    or...

    Right-click on taskbar - select Settings and turn on 'use Peek to preview desktop...'. From now on, if you put the mouse at the far right of the taskbar you'll see the desktop, click in the far right and you switch to it.
