I assume windower's works the same way, but if not this should be all the info they need to offer you a fix.

Just chiming in to say that Windower uses the exact same flag. Can toggle it in Windower profile advanced tab.

So I found a new issue.

After this fix I get certain other weird issues. Mostly it's the F1 button that doesn't work. Other times it can be other buttons not working or simply giving me other results.

Like pressing the button b in chat gives me random numbers. Pressing the ALT button after the character is in focus fixes it. Kind of like windows wants me to confirm the window with ALT? Anyone else got similar issue?

Oh, boy... I stupidly applied the 24h2 update without even thinking it would break anything FFXI related. I use Windower and I'm a heavy multiboxer and now my alt-tab is all messed up. If I'm in one FFXI instance, I alt-tab, it immediately will switch to any non-FFXI window, without showing any preview. From there I can just alt-tab again and it will show the thumbnails for any other instance which I can choose from, but so many decades of muscle memory that "just works" makes everything super annoying.

I am not sure if I should roll back to the previous update or just start "learning" to live with it... it is very frustrating :(

Enabling the Windows key in Windower fixed this for me with the side effect that now alt-tab will always show a live thumbnail (which I can take or leave, as a feature).

I thought I'd be grumpy accidentally hitting the Win key from time to time, but turns out my keyboard has a toggle that just turns it off altogether for a "game mode" or whatever. Go fig.

After trying (and failing miserably) for a few hours, I now rolled back to before the 24h2 update and I am now happy. I also provided Microsoft some feedback on it, although I imagine it most likely go to deaf ears (but it's not like we are not used to it with SE doing the same ;)).
