    Why so many windows when I alt-tab?


    This might be a old thing because I haven't updated in while, but I only have three edge windows open, but when I alt-tab, there are EIGHT. This wasn't a problem before I updated. Is there any way to fix/change this?

    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 tabbing increases system performance?

    Skyrim doesnt work correctly you alt tab, but if you alt tab to it again while the screen is black, it loads up with the windows cursor over the top. If i repeatedly do this, eventually it fullscreens properly without issues. Slightly weird.
