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?

How did you change the right click in File Explorer to the old way?
When I right click the menu has 'Show more options' at the bottom. When selected that has the Windows 10 menu items. But this is an extra step to get to the old accustomed menu.
To change, does this require this registry change: reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
Or is there another way to change?
Got my new work PC. Turns out the sysadmins already had this working like windows 10, so no problem. I still had to change the right-click menu from File Explorer to be the old way that I use all the time..
Very Helpful. Thank you.
Agree, the disabled by default is nonsensical. Go figure Microsoft.
Under "Show tabs from apps when snapping or pressing Alt + Tab" click on "Don't Show Tabs". you can still hold alt and tab to see all the windows you have open, but pressing alt+tab takes you to your last open window just like on windows 10. Idk why this feature is disabled by default.
Wow, I can't believe they took this away. I didn't want to switch to a mac at work because it wouldn't have my familiar keystrokes but if I don't get them in Windows either, it might be time.
