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?

    You're a better man than all those dorks at microsoft for at least figuring out where the bug takes place.

    Who ever approved this change is a mo ron. Stop meddling with things you dont understand and leave it up to people who actually do their jobs, because if you were doing a job, you know alt tab is suppose to work the way it was.
