    Tab key stopped working

    Hi Don,

    To resolve your issue, follow the steps below:

    • Press and hold Alt-key.
    • Press 0 0 9 on the numeric pad.
    • Release the Alt-key.

    This is the alternate method of getting a TAB character.

    Let us know if you need further assistance and we will be glad to help.

    Windows key hold after alt-tabbing

    Which build? I once saw it appear as if there was a way to lock the Alt- key, which then makes the Alt-Tab display work like the Win-Tab Task View in that it stays up without having to hold on to the modifier while you use it with cursor keys. To make
    it work I needed to use the right-Ctrl. In fact, it still works that way provided I press the Ctrl- key first. YMMV. 17134.286

    Windows 10. Still an Adventure ("Twisty passages, all different.")

    FYI

    Hi there. I actually have 1803 but, as I said, I have always had it. I'm not sure what I should do with Ctrl, specifically the right one. Isn't there a way to report this to the devs too?

    Thank you.
