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?

    I updated recently from windows 10 to 11 after building a new computer and I am now having problems with alt tabbing after switching to windows 11. I played for several days on windows 10 with no issues and after the update its become a mess.

    HI Jovan Tomic.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I understand that this issue also occurs in Windows 11 Pro 24H2.

    Thank you for trying different system versions and trying to resolve this issue. I do understand your frustration in still having the problem after multiple attempts.

    Currently 24H2 is still a preview system, it is not an official release and has some instabilities while in the stage of gathering possible issues. Please refer to my previous reply for feedback and provide me with a link to the feedback.

    Also, please use version 23H2 for now to avoid this issue.

    Thank you for your understanding and support.

    Best regards,

    Hi Jovan Tomic.

    Thank you for your reply. I understand that there are many other users who are experiencing this problem. Thank you for trying to find a solution to this problem and for providing me with the relevant links, your efforts deserve to be recognized for a quality that goes beyond most users.

    Currently, 24H2 is still a preview version of the system, it was released for the purpose of allowing users to find problems in their experience and give feedback to the development team for improvement.

    In the link you provided, it seems that some people have no problem when using just the Intel integrated graphics and it appears when using the Nvidia graphics, please right click on Start, select Device Manager, find the display adapter, and then temporarily disable your discrete graphics and use just the integrated graphics to see if you have the same problem.

    If the problem still exists, Microsoft attaches great importance to user experience, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the Feedback Hub, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.

    Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me. More votes will lead to more visibility and higher priority to the development team.

    Of course, you can also refer to the previous replies and go back to 23H2 for now after backing up your data.

    Thank you for your understanding and support.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    It seems that this is a widespread issue with Windows 11 24H2 for example:

    Anyone else experience black screen when Alt+Tab to get out of fullscreen game window (not when getting back in) ever since 24H2? : r/WindowsHelp (reddit.com)

    Another users experience: Win11 24H2: Black screen ALT+TAB Out (no issues on 23H2) (youtube.com)

    This is from my perspective, I have attached an image of my NVIDIA settings and videos that display the issue: https://imgur.com/a/1UQUpPy
