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?

    this doesn't work. There is no option to select "open windows". I have only none, 3, 5, 20. It was already on 20.

    I've changed it to none to see what happens. My windows have rearranged so some of the more recent ones are no longer at the end, and no obvious change to anything else, though it's not perfect I think it's better
