Alt + tab no longer switches to last window in Windows 11

Hi all,

One of the most useful shortcuts I use all the time is not working for me on my new laptop with Windows 11. I used to use ALT + TAB to switch between the current window and the last window I used. Now if I use it it switches between the current window and the first open window (not the most recent). How can I get it so it switches between the two most recently used?

I have found a solution, press Win+R and write "regedit", then a window will appear. press ctrl+f and find "AltTabSettings". Change the value of AltTabSettings from 1 to 0,(1 means fast and 0 default) save it and then restart your computer. After that it will work just fine. It's for Windows 11. I hope this helps someone, I have had this problem for months and I am glad I found this solution.

If there were only an alternative, I would not be using this OS. They are deliberately sacrificing productivity to force you to buy their extensions and apps.

The Alt + Tab feature had been a productivity enhancer for decades and they removed it. I am not sure if their engineers and developers are also doing work like us.

Same issue. How to recover

I agree... same thing happens on my Lenovo laptop with an external Logitech keyboard !
