hey folks, question time. Has anyone else worked out how to alt tab on windows 11? They totally screwed it up and you cant just alt tab between characters anymore without hitting tab several times making it a lot trickier than it used to be. Instead of tabbing to the previous window it just starts cycling through all your windows in an order, this isnt what alt tab has been for a very long time, I cant understand why they changed it.

Googling it and going through its methods has no changed a thing. Has anyone else been able to overcome this? Dual boxing is a nightmare now.

Appreciate all the help

Hu Tuvae,

It might be something you can change in your windower settings. Open the launcher, press the pencil icon for your profile, click advanced and turn on "Allow Windows key passthrough".

Use Alt Tab to go to player 2, then Alt Shift Tab to go back to player 1.

* Disable alt-tab
* Install AltAppSwitcher
* Profit

Or just install Linux and be done with this nonsense.

Also can use the switch_focus addon if you are using Windows key for binds. Which is just a better multi box experience anyway
