Windows 10: Why has Alt-Tab not gotten fixed yet?

Alt-Tab got all goofed up about 1 year ago and I thought for sure it would have been fixed by now. There are old posts e.g., https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/alt-tab-does-not-always-switch-to-the-most-recent/86da1e39-5b0c-4e06-8736-4c2aebba93e0 saying it was fixed, but it is not fixed on my Win 11 which is fully up to date. Mainly it is the Microsoft Office apps that are Almost Always somewhere way down the list or at the bottom of the list even if you just came from that app. I figured it is Microsoft punishing those who don't update Office enough ... wouldn't that b

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 not working

*Confused I can alt tab back even if i don't have another program to switch too.

 

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?
