In Windows 8 you could do it, and I know you can use Windows + D, but that doesn't work in games, specifically Far Cry 4 in my case. So every time I want to leave the game without quitting it I need to make it windowed and do whatever it is I want to do then make it fullscreen again. Even in...

We know there’s a vocal set of people who just love virtual desktops. Having desktops beyond the limitations of a physical display is a powerful way to organize and quickly access groups of windows. Virtual desktops aren’t new. In fact, Xerox PARC created one of the earliest virtual desktop...

My computer started blue screening recently whenever i take a seemingly random action. the other day it blue screened when i just clicked my browsing history to find a page i didnt book mark, sometimes when i try to Alt+Tab out of a game, sometimes when i try to maximise a game i just Alt+Tabbed...

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 guys. When I am playing games half way, I occasionally get auto alt-tab to desktop. It is very disruptive to my game. I went to check what is the cause of it by clicking on my volume icon and then click on mixer, I realise it is rundll32.exe that is causing the problem. Rundll32.exe will only...

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...

My application tray broke after a recent windows update. I may be using the wrong name. I am referring to the application icons that appear by default at the bottom of the screen. Now when I have more than 1 window open for an app and I click in the application icon, the open windows blink on...

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...

Out of the blue, something just occurred to me... I remember a while back there was a lot being said about a loss of AeroGlass. Well, fair enough, windows won't 'float' on the screen & whirl around like a rolodex BUT, You can, still, do Alt+Tab And both the Charms Bar and the Taskbar are...

My brother said his computer was lagging to he shut off his computer, and when he turned it back on, nothing would load; I turned the computer on and it logs into the user but none of the tiles will load. It takes me straight to a black screen with a bar at the bottom, and after about 45 seconds...

Hi everybody ::- ). One thing which has me perpetually angry at the ALT+TAB application selection window in Windows 7, is that after a time (about 1 second) it hides the window I triggered it from, replacing it with the window of the currently selected application. So let's say I'm typing...

Hi everybody ::- ). My first post here ::- D. I am wondering if there is any way to make the selected program in ALT + TAB more evident? You know, when pressing ALT + TAB we get the running applications, with icon & window preview. Each time we press TAB, the next application is selected...

Hello all, First things first... please dont' flame due to the OSX-ness of my desktop, I'm a software developer and rotate between Windows, Linux and OS X on a daily basis. I've taken bits of all three to comprise my desktop for what I like best. Anyways... I am wondering if you can disable the...

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...
