Windows 10: cannot switch to another window - Microsoft Community


my windows 10 free upgrade old window 7 home. 

since couple of months ago, perhaps after applying windows upgrade, cannot switch windows "alt-tab" keys or clicking application on bottom bar. example, current window chrome or ie, want go editor or explorer, after use "alt-tab" select application, several things can happen:

1. switch successful;

2. nothing happens;

3. windows appears, after release “alt-tab" key, disappears current window unchanged;

4. window appears, current front window still covers it.

there no definite behavior annoying. think of reinstall system no sure how it.

thanks.

i had exact same problem toggling apps too. frustrating having minimise windows in order switch another. took me quite while figure out caused issue , tried all suggestions microsoft staff no avail.

however, changed upon a commenter posted solution , worked ! wonder why microsoft staff didn't thought of this.

just go setting -->system-->tablet mode-->select "use desktop mode". once selected this, toggling between apps familiar windows 7.
