Hi VladislavKosev, I am having trouble reproducing this behavior. Can you please tell me more about what you are trying to do, and how you are doing it? How many monitors do you have? When you say full screen do you mean a maximized window or the F11 full screen behavior? How many windows do you have open? How many tabs are open? Thank you in advance.

Elliot Kirk I am experiencing the same problem. When I am watching a video in fullscreen on youtube, and I Alt+Tab, the edge window is initially there but, after a not even a second, it disappears. In my case, this only happens when my initial focus is on edge, that is, if I'm on another application, the edge window appears normally, however, when I am on edge, the stated problem occurs.

In my "Multitasking" settings in Windows 10, I have my Alt+Tab setting set to "only show windows", I have only one monitor and this is a fresh install of the latest Windows version.
