    When alt-tab out I am unable to click the application while playing WWZ?


    I am playing World War Z. When I want to alt-tab my Desktop, taskbar, and application like Chrome discord, etc. are frozen. I can still move my mouse but the cannot use the left click or right click. but the game did not crash the application is still running the only thing that is not working is clicking the application. Either I restart the computer or exit my WWZ and wait a few more minutes then I am able to click everything. Help what's the problem.

    :)

    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.

    Alt+Tab to swith between different applications

    I used Alt+Tab to swith between different applications. Post Windows 10, I have to press Enter to select that app from the popup window. How can this additional step be avoided?

    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?
