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?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
Thanks a lot.
This reverted the behavior to the Default "Alt + Tab" behaviour we are accustomed to. :)
I agree... same thing happens on my Lenovo laptop with an external Logitech keyboard !
on "step 4" theere is no "open windows" opton:
Same issue. How to recover
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.
