alt-tab

If you’ve ever relied on the Alt-Tab shortcut to shuffle through your myriad open apps, today’s news might feel like a punch in the keyboard. A recent issue has surfaced where users report that pressing Alt-Tab on Windows 11 and 10 leads to the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Yep, one...

I sometimes watch videos like deleting the program files folder, setting date to crazy big values and breaking win 11/10 every other possible way. In many cases modern windows starts slowly transforming into win 7/XP. Like alt-tab menu from XP, task manager from 7 and other weird things I wonder...

A) Some people have said Multiple Desktops & Task View is silly or unnecessary or 'geeky' when I suggested it could be put to good use. B) Windows 10 allows some funky snapping. 1/2 screen or 1/4 screen. And everything 'floats' & is sizable. Well, it is becomes bloody neat when you combine A...

Hi all I'm having an issue with Windows 8.1 that I have had issues with resolving. What happens is I load a game, any game, and the operating system seems to Alt+Tab to the desktop without my instruction after about 10 minutes of gameplay. What I've done to check: Checked the keyboard. All the...

Greetings, For the past ~2 weeks I have had a slightly annoying reoccurring BSOD, focused around the wink32.sys driver. It only happens once every few days. At first, I attributed it to my new GPU and SSD, but I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and the problems persisted. I suspect it is...

Laptop that I am using is Samsung SF410 It's less than a year old, and I had kept getting unstable signs in the system before. These days the computer can't go through a good one game in LoL without a BSOD. Bluescreen pops up randomly, or whenever I alt+tab to the desktop. I have tried...

Hi everyone, I'm not quite sure how to describe this problem. I use alt-tab constantly to switch between applications. Sometimes I know I just want to switch back and forth between two apps, so that's just a quick punch of the keys, no visual aid necessary. However, there are other times when...

I'm fairly new to W7, about 2 months, having migrated from XP to W7 (never experienced Vista). Quite frequently I encounter a problem with the mouse, in which it fails to (a) bring the auto-hidden taskbar into view, and (b) properly select functions normally controlled by button clicks. Problem...

The second most annoying behavior of windows 7 is that switching tasks with ALT-TAB loses the sequence. Tasks are random instead of being in the order of when the window was last in focus. And then when I minimize a window, it's still first in the sequence, what the...? How can I change the...

Hey guys Basically I'm not a pro with computers,But my Windows 7 is doing something really strange and VERY annoying What its doing is if i Alt tab out of something i can't just click the icon to get back into it,I recently found a way to get back in and that was by pressing...

Seen multiple posts in this area but no solutions. It seems like the system is constantly cycling somehow, so there is never enough time to select from the All Programs list, or for a taskbar right click or even hard to select an app when Alt-Tab is pressed. You can see a slight blink on any...

NTWind Software provides small and powerful utilities for Microsoft Windows operating systems. TaskSwitchXP TaskSwitchXP is an advanced task management utility that picks up where the standard Windows Alt+Tab switcher leaves off. It provides the same functionality, and adds visual styles to...

Hey guys. I just bought a new computer running Windows 7, and it is a great operating system. However, I am having one minor problem. When I am running a fullscreen game such as counter-strike or left 4 dead and I minimize by either Alt-Tabbing or hitting the windows key, it partially shows...

So I'm new to Windows 7 but have been enjoying it relatively problem free after my upgrade until today. Out of the blue my touch-to-tap on my laptop became disabled and all of a sudden the taskbar started acting glitchy, when I moused over an icon with multiple windows open, the icons would...

Hey everyone, About two weeks ago i started to have trouble with various applications in windows 7, up to that point everything seemed to work oki doki... The first i noticed was that some games, namely World Of Warcraft and Crysis had major issues when i alt-tabbed. World of Warcraft...

My left Windows Key dont work anymore but i would like to use Flip3d. Is there a way to set Flip3d from Win-Tab to Alt-Tab? And set Alt-Tab to other Keycombination? I did a search here found a possible solution with Autohotkey Script Manager. Ive tried it but to be honest im too dumb for it. I...

1. My Alt-Tab and most other short cuts aren't working, is there something i can do? 2. Steam Compatibility. I use steam (Valve's game program), and my W7 forced it to run in compatibility mode, and my steam wouldn't open with the compatibility settings on. But when i checked if it had any...

Volume Mixer in Windows 7 is very very annoying. I have been trying to disable it due to the issues it causes when playing games and running Ventrilo at the same time, or multiple programs at the same time. I have set the Volume Mixer to give both the game and Ventrilo or the accompanying...

I have this problem that the sounds start to occasionally "crackle". This "crackling" occurs almost every time I ALT-TAB while playing World of Warcraft and listening to Winamp at the same time.
