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?

Version 24H2

Installed on ‎01-‎Sep-‎24

OS build 26100.1591

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.18.0

Latest BIOS 5404 for Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II

Thank you in advance!

    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.

    Adding to my list of things I’ve tried

    Validated / updated NVME drives were working via magician software

    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...

    Dude I am a sample size of 1 and I for sure can with 100% certainty tell you the “research team” escalation at Microsoft doesn’t know **** about this. Nor do they think it’s related. They claim that since I installed my OS four times now. That Win 11 24h2 isn’t the culprit. I still have an active and open case with them. If you have something you’d like me to mention or ask let me know and I’ll report back.

    Topic from september 2024, and yet on January 24 this POS update gets installed on my PC overnight and boom - alt+tab is instantly broken.

    Update contains a very widespread bug, which was known by MS for months at this point, and yet you guys still ship this update to me regardless? This is completely unacceptable.
