Just to confirm you completely killed Discord, not just closing it to the system tray, and it still happens?


Hello, thanks for replying here too.

Yes, it's doing that still after fully closing discord (not to tray).

I can verify that the alt key is being pressed cos I have a toggle on another app with ctrl+alt+f and if I hit just ctrl+f after that it triggers the other toggle. I can also verify on webapp testers for keyboard presses that it's being held down.

I'm not sure what could be the issue, but I assume if it's not discord then it's some other app I have running in the background.

If there's a way to diagnose that, it'd be neat cos I like the feature that allows making alt tab to show just the windows opened in the 2nd screen. But if not possible to diagnose and fix, I'll just stick to default alt+tab. The other functions I've been using are already 10/10 and worth the license. ]]> RE: Using "Alt+Tab" function in displayfusion results in Alt key getting stuck after alt tabbing https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/using-alttab-function-in-displayfusion-results-in-alt-key-getting-stuck-after-alt-tabbing/?ID=019f077b-e69e-71ea-8c1e-f26c193a069e#2 Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:50:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/using-alttab-function-in-displayfusion-results-in-alt-key-getting-stuck-after-alt-tabbing/?ID=019f077b-e69e-71ea-8c1e-f26c193a069e#2 DisplayFusion Just to confirm you completely killed Discord, not just closing it to the system tray, and it still happens? ]]> Using "Alt+Tab" function in displayfusion results in Alt key getting stuck after alt tabbing https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/using-alttab-function-in-displayfusion-results-in-alt-key-getting-stuck-after-alt-tabbing/?ID=019f077b-e69e-71ea-8c1e-f26c193a069e Sat, 27 Jun 2026 05:09:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/using-alttab-function-in-displayfusion-results-in-alt-key-getting-stuck-after-alt-tabbing/?ID=019f077b-e69e-71ea-8c1e-f26c193a069e DisplayFusion Hello.

I've bought the app recently on Steam and I have been testing the various features it offers. I'm truly surprised at the so many things I hadn't considered were a possibility and I wish I had heard of this app so many years ago because it would've saved me tons of frustration with windows.

However, I'm having issue with the Alt+Tab function. The key becomes "stuck" until I press it again on its own (without using tab)

I found an old thread here that says that discord and powertoys cause the alt key to become stuck but I closed discord and I don't have powertoys (I did install it long ago but it's been uninstalled for years).

I did check the known issues thread and I didn't find this one there

So, I wanna know if this is a known bug not listed there or something else is going wrong with my PC and this app or some weird interaction.

I'm using windows 10 using the extended security patches (I refuse to use windows 11).

Thank you for reading ]]>
