I hate the new Alt+Tab behavior so much! While working with multi-window Edge, Alt+Tab chooses just a random window. I WANT TO SWITCH JUST BETWEEN THE TWO LAST WINDOWS!
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?

- change between Windows mode (Fn + A)
Now it was working fine
