Hello, I hope you are doing well.

By default, when I use ALT+TAB to go between windows, if I pause on another icon for about a second, the other window becomes the active one (so that I can preview what's on that window). Is there a way to disable this?

Thanks,
Vic

Hello Vic, To disable the feature where hovering over an application icon in the ALT+TAB switcher previews the window, you can adjust a setting in Windows. Follow these steps: 1. Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings app. 2. Go to "System" and then select "Multitasking" from the left sidebar. 3. Scroll down to the section titled "Pressing Alt+Tab shows" and change the option to "Open windows only." By setting it to "Open windows only," you should be able to disable the window preview when hovering over an application icon while using ALT+TAB. Give this a try, and let me know if you need further assistance!
