Check Graphics Settings: Make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can sometimes cause issues with tabbing in and out of games. 4. Game Settings: Check the game settings for any options related to focus or tabbing behavior. Some games have settings that control how the game behaves when it loses focus. 5. Compatibility Mode: Right-click on the game's shortcut or executable, go to Properties, and try running the game in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. This might help with compatibility issues. 6. Task Manager: If you can't tab back into a game, you can try using the Task Manager. Press "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" to open Task Manager, find the game process, right-click on it, and choose "Bring to Front." 7. Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 7 system is up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, system updates can also resolve compatibility issues with games. Give these steps a try and see if they help resolve the issue you are experiencing with tabbing in and out of games on your new Windows 7 system.
