Edge missing in Alt+Tab when in full screen
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. I hope that I can help solve this issue for you. Thanks - Elliot

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.

Elliot Kirk , I am not doing anything special. I am talking about the full screen functionality of the player, not the browser. I usually don't open more than several tabs and I don't have a second monitor. I have noticed that the number of open programs is not relevant either.
What I tested while I was typing this is:
- Opened a video on http://twitch.tv on full screen
- Returned here and typed stuff
- Tried Alt+Tab.
The first 4-5 times it worked. But as I spent time here, now it doesn't work at all or works 1 out of 10 cases.
Try leaving a youtube video open on full screen and go do some other stuff in another window. Try every now and then to alt+tab.
Let me know if I can hep more.
