Alt Tab

I don’t know about you, but Alt + Tab has become an essential Windows feature for me, so when I ended up with blurry windows in Windows 11, the whole thing has become quite a pain in the neck.

IBM developed a method to place the characters that can not be typed by a keyboard on the screen: while keeping the Alt key down, typing the code defined for the character via the numeric keypad. The system which interprets this action and places the corresponding character at the cursor's location is BIOS. Nov 10, 2020 Standard Alt+Tab usage is pretty basic. Just press Alt+Tab, hold the Alt key down, and then keep pressing the Tab key to scroll through your open windows. Release the Alt key when you see an outline around the window you want. Click on the System tile. Switch to the Multi-tasking tab on the left side of the panel. Scroll down until you see the Sets section. Click on the dropdown menu under Pressing Alt+Tab shows the most recently used, then select Windows only from the options. The default setting is Windows and tabs, which shows both open windows and tabs. Another thing you can try is the Alt-Tab-Esc shortcut, which often seems to fix issues with Alt-Tab in general. Method 3: Restart Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer essentially allows you to browse your files with a visual interface.

It’s not like I wasn’t able to use it anymore, but my Alt + Tab screen looked awful, which makes little sense for an operating system that’s supposed to be as modern as it gets.

But of course, given Windows 11 is still in its early days and is only available in the Windows Insider program, this makes perfect sense, and it was pretty clear Microsoft was supposed to fix the whole thing rather sooner than later.

And as it turns out, this was one of the first things Microsoft addressed as part of the Windows Insider program, as the most recent preview build of Windows 11 finally resolves the blurry windows in Alt + Tab.

As you can see in the screenshot here, everything is looking exactly as you’d expect it to look, so if your thumbnails are blurry, just make sure you install Windows 11 preview build 22000.65. It’s available right now as part of the Windows Insider program in the Dev channel.

On the other hand, keep in mind Windows 11 is still a work in progress, so don’t be too surprised if you come across other bugs while using it.
