The default mode Windows 10 Alt-Tab seems to be not working for some users after two updates were released via Patch Tuesday (July and August 2021).
The update KB5005033 stops the orderly mode of the Alt-Tab shortcut in Windows 10. Using the Alt+Tab shortcut is key as pressing the Alt-Tab keys together and then continuing to press the Tab key will start scrolling through your open windows. When you release the key, the window you are in opens.
After the August 2021 Patch Tuesday and the July 2021 Update Preview, some users noticed issues when using Alt-Tab to switch between apps and games. Windows will start flashing the surface work.
Users had reported the same problems with Alt-Tab after installing Cumulative Update last month.
But apparently there is a solution. To fix issues caused by Alt-Tab usage by KB5005033, you should turn off the News and Interest feed by following the steps below:
- Right-click anywhere on the line work.
- In the item "News and interests" (News and interests).
- Select "Disable".
The news graphic should leave your taskbar and Alt-Tab will start working again.
You can also remove the cumulative update that is causing the problems.
- From choice Update and security click View update history.
- You will see Uninstall updates. Click and it will take you to the Control Panel, from where you should select the update KB5005033.
- Click uninstall.
Once you're done, turn them off updates για μερικές εβδομάδες ή μέχρι την επόμενη προαιρετική ενημέρωση, η οποία αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει αργότερα αυτόν τον μήνα.
