Sometimes, when I alt+tab several times in quick succession, it minimizes all windows. It's very annoying when it happens as I work on an ultrawide monitor separated into 3 screens with a lot of windows open at all time.. It also happens when I disconnect the laptop from the dock and work on one screen. :-[

I'm now on DisplayFusion Pro 10.1.1 on steam and it's all good there too.

This alt-tabbing behaviour happens to me sometimes too. It's relatively rare as to when it occurs, but it seems to happen only when I very quickly alt tab to switch to the previously focused window. I can't seem to reproduce it, but it feels like this occurs every couple hours. Might only occur when I'm using a video player too, potplayer in this case. I've also got some settings in potplayer to auto-disable and enable windows HDR, so it might have something to do with that. ]]> RE: ALT + TAB minimizes all windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#8 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:40:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#8 DisplayFusion Sounds good, if you notice anything specifically that seems to trigger it, please let me know.

Strange! How often does it seem to happen?

I'll have to track it and get back to you. It's intermittent enough that I get back in the habit of using Alt+Tab to switch windows, and then it strikes, which usually leaves me restoring lots of windows for a couple of days until I once again get out of the habit of using Alt+Tab. It's a frustrating cycle. ]]> RE: ALT + TAB minimizes all windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#6 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 15:21:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#6 DisplayFusion Strange!

And then letting it go it minimizes everything again?

Sometimes. That's the tricky part of reproducing this. The day I posted, press and release of ALT+TAB was reliably minimizing all windows.

Today, press and release of ALT+TAB is switching to the second most recently active window (expected behavior). ]]> RE: ALT + TAB minimizes all windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#4 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 18:38:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#4 DisplayFusion And then letting it go it minimizes everything again? ]]> RE: ALT + TAB minimizes all windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#3 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 18:02:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#3 DisplayFusion

When you press Alt+Tab, before you let go of Alt, can you see if it has the 2nd window selected, or the last window, which would be the "Desktop?"

The second window is selected. ]]> RE: ALT + TAB minimizes all windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#2 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 17:24:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252#2 DisplayFusion When you press Alt+Tab, before you let go of Alt, can you see if it has the 2nd window selected, or the last window, which would be the "Desktop?" ]]> ALT + TAB minimizes all windows https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 15:11:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-minimizes-all-windows/?ID=05ed4f3a-5e23-431c-bda0-4050de1cf252 DisplayFusion Running DF 9.2.4 on Win 7

When I press and release ALT+TAB, as you would normally do in Win 7 to switch to the previously active window, all windows are minimized. On my multi-monitor setup with at least 20 open windows, this is driving me nuts.

If I press ALT+TAB and continue to hold ALT, then I can TAB through all the windows as per normal in Win 7.

How can I restore "normal" behavior for press and release of ALT+TAB, i.e., switch to previously active window? I assume this is related to DF as I've only experienced this behavior with DF installed. ]]>
