Alt+Tab goes in the wrong order

[Alex Clark]

Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm on XP Pro 64bit with SP2 and sometimes when I alt+tab, instead of going
to the most recent window I had open, it picks any other random window and
completely shuffles the order around. It's not a deal-breaking issue but it
is a bit of a pain.

Anyone know of a hotfix? Search on the MS webby turned up nothing :-(

Honestly haven't seen it. Can you try to keep track of what you were doing
recently when it happens? And what windows you have open and current? Maybe
a pattern will emerge.

Re: Alt+Tab goes in the wrong order

I have seen something vaguely like this - for me, this happens when I
minimize a full screen game and alt+tab sequence start acting funny, but I
cannot say that I see it going random, it just skips in places where I don't
expect it to - and not all the time.

Re: Alt+Tab goes in the wrong order

Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, except that it happens when I least
expect (or want) it to. I think it's more often when I have a larger number
of windows open, but I can't say for certain.

I haven't installed any fancy Alt+Tab powertoys and don't have any unusual
config on my system, unless you count XP 64bit as unusual, lol. I'll try to
keep track more closely and see if a particular app or scenario is common to
it.

Re: Alt+Tab goes in the wrong order

I think I'm in the same boat but I'm not sure what causes this problem.
The one I'm suspecting is "MS visual studio".
I hope I could resolve this issue soon becuase it's a lot of pain as an
alt-tab addictive.
