When using Alt+Tab is there any way to make the "selected window" line, a bit bolder or noticeable? its hard to see which one is the selected one.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

I know you can change the color of the outline, but I'm not certain about a way to change the thickness.

The color can be changed from Settings > Personalization > Color > Accent Color.

    I think I just accidentally found a solution. I've been following a convoluted process to try and get Microsoft Store working (don't ask). The last step I did was a sort of Windows re-install

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-perform-a-repair-upgrade-using-the-windows/35160fbe-9352-4e70-9887-f40096ec3085

    After doing this, lo and behold, the alt-tab borders are working perfectly - accent colour and all (it fixed Microsoft Store too).

    The re-install took maybe 30 to 40 minutes.

    Hope this helps somebody
