Hi, Ah, default virtual desktops setting might be in effect... Are you using multiple virtual desktops (that is, can you navigate between them by pressing Control+Windows+left or right arrows)? Try: 1. Press Windows+I to open Settings, then navigate to System/Multitasking (select the subcategory and press ENTER). 2. Press TAB until you arrive at "Pressing Alt+Tab shows windows that are open on" combo box. 3. If you see "only the desktop I'm using", select "all desktops". Press TAB and your preference will be saved. Let us know if this doesn't resolve the problem. Cheers, Joseph
