    Windows 10 Alt + Tab does not reset after releasing Alt and Tab and then pressing again


    Repro:

    Alt + Tab

    Switch from current app to last used

    Release Alt and Tab

    Press Alt + Tab again


    Expected:

    Switch from current app to last used


    Actual:

    Switches from current app to second last used



    Workaround:

    Release Alt and Tab and wait a full second or two and then press Alt + Tab


    I think a change must have been made that doesn't allow you to use this shortcut, release it, and do it again in quick succession This makes this shortcut less valuable since you can't do it fast and save the time from moving you mouse.

    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 switching on release


    Hi,

    I've been having a bit of trouble with Windows the last few days, which has to to lead me to reinstall it over my current windows. Just mentioning it in case it might be relevant.

    But my problem is that I'm used to having to press ALT+TAB and it would display the open programs, and when I release the combo, it would switch me to the program. But now I've noticed that when I press ALT+TAB, and release the combo, the little UI thingy still stays open and I either need to click the choice or press enter or something. And this is really annoying since I switch programs on a regular basis and this extra step feels unnecessary.
