  1. What is the keyboard shortcut to switch between windows in the same program


    I recently switched from Mac to Windows, and it's effing my mind trying to figure out the Windows equivalent of keyboard shortcuts i am used to. So if I have explorer open with several windows. (I think it's called Explorer on Windows, on Mac it's called Finder)...then how do I just switch between those Explorer windows which are open, using the keyboard?

    Delay launching programs with keyboard shortcuts

    From reading around, my understanding (and I stand to be corrected) is that the 2-3 second delay is a Windows default delay where Windows searches for any other app or program running at the time on your PC which MIGHT have the same shortcut as the program you are running and switch over to it instead of running the program initiated by your shortcut. In case of any unresponsive or misbehaving app or program, Windows waits 2-3 seconds before moving on to the next running program.

    see:
    Why is there sometimes a long delay between pressing a hotkey for a shortcut and opening the shortcut? The Old New Thing
    for this explanation


    There are also some trouble shooting steps which you can try listed down the page here:
    slow windows desktop keyboard shortcuts - Super User

    As regards the store and settings, I would try to reset at least the store app as per instructions here :
    Clear and Reset Store Cache in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

    I would also disable fast startup at least once and do a full shutdown and restart as often times it helps to get rid of some bugs in Windows.



    Hope this helps you narrow down the solution. Otherwise, just wait for someone else to chime in.

    Using Win10 shortcut to switch active program

    The two programs I use most often are Outlook and Firefox, and I often need to switch between them. (I don't want both programs displayed on the same screen.) When I was using Win7 there was no difference whether I switched with my mouse or with the keyboard.
    Now however switching with the alt+tab keyboard shortcut takes me to an overwhelming number of thumbnails that I don't want to deal with, or sometimes a long list instead. Can I not use the shortcut without all the clutter?

    What is the keyboard shortcut to switch between windows in the same program

    Windows 10 commands/shortcuts/env. var.

    Keyboard shortcuts to open programs:

    Create a shortcut on the desktop to whatever program you want. Right click -> Properties and fill in the field there. Sadly the shortcut needs to remain on the desktop, but you can hide it.

    Fun fact: If you had keyboard shortcuts for programs pinned to your Windows 7 start menu, those shortcuts still work when you update to Windows 10.
