I've written here before, and yes, I still have a problem with alt+tab on version 24h2. I've been sitting on 23h2 for a month and everything is fine. I hope MS is aware of this problem and will fix it soon, but so much time has passed...
Black screen issues on Windows 11 24H2 when ALT+TABing?

So as the title suggests, when I ALT+TAB from a game both of my screens go black for about 4-5 seconds and then work normally.
Is anyone else having this issue and if so, is there a solution?

2025-01-13T00:36:33+00:00 Yea I feel like it’s gotta be software related. I’m going to save that link. And give it a go. I’ll also try safe mode and installing each program individually and testing to see what happens.

Validated / updated NVME drives were working via magician software

2025-01-13T00:14:55+00:00 So I’m still experiencing issues with alt tab and getting stuck or freezing my screen.
I’ve worked with MS and they said they don’t have any meaningful input.
Re installed OS 4 times
Replaced RAM, tried various combinations of frequency and base clock, 4 vs 2 sticks
Replaced motherboard
Replaced GPU with 3090
Replaced cables 12vPWR
Tried with any GPU (might have something here. Not sure tho will re test)
Gigabyte is taking a week per reply to email me back. Which sucks.
NVIDIA is going RMA gpu.
I’ve replaced my intel processor.
Nothing works.
To be honest, I do not know if it is a problem from Nvidia or Microsoft. I have a laptop with 24H2 and Intel iGPU, and no issues happened there. Meanwhile, on my desktop PC with Nvidia, it's an absolute nightmare...
Anyways, I fixed it by reinstalling 23H2.
