Is there a way to have DF's ALT+TAB disabled on the main Primary monitor? I want to Show All Windows on All Monitors, but with Windows' builtin ALT+TAB on the primary monitor.
As a side note, sometimes ALT+TAB does not work when only one monitor is turned on; ALT+TAB on the main monitor shows the list of running apps, but when selected with the keyboard arrows, that app is not always brought forward upon releasting ALT+TAB. This behavior is intermittent, and interestingly, seems to be working more and more frequently. Also, the app does come to the front if I select the app with the mouse, instead of just releasing ALT+TAB.
One other note: DF's ALT+TAB seems to be missing the Apps' "Close" buttons. Is there a way to enable these?
I do have UAC Fully Disabled (www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alttab-doesnt-bring-windows-to-front-win10/)

That's not something we support, I'm not too sure if it's even possible but I'll add it to our feature request list. We have the close button on our feature request list as well, so I've added your vote to it.
Is it apps that require elevation for DisplayFusion to hook, like the Desktop for example?
Some apps run elevated so DisplayFusion might not be able to access them (The desktop window for example, if you have "Show the Desktop window" enabled in the AltTab settings). Are you able to re-enable UAC and see if the issue persists?

Once I enabled Show Desktop Window, then the ALT+TAB seems to work (brings the app forward when releasing ALT+TAB) -- without turning UAC on.
Is there a way to have the ALT+TAB release bring the app to the current monitor (it always goes to primary monitor)? Perhaps with a Trigger?

Today ALT-TAB stopped working, even if there's only 1 monitor on. The trigger is still in place, but for some reason ALT-TAB won't switch apps at all. Any ideas?

I just realized something really bizarre that may help us. I have a stream deck with per app profiles; when I use DF to ALT-TAB, Stream Deck switches profiles, but in the foreground of the monitor DF is still displaying the last app. Interesting; so it seems windows is switching to another app, although DF won't display it.
