Alt + Tab experience can now be turned off from the browser using this newly added flag

MVP

 

This flag that was just added today to Edge Version 89.0.736.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

 

edge://flags/#edge-window-tab-manager

can disable Alt + Tab experience

 

the description says:

"Allows Windows to show open Microsoft Edge tabs in OS experiences like Alt + Tab, pinned sites, and more. – Windows"

 

so regardless of what your settings are in Windows

you can stop Edge tabs to appear as separate windows in Alt + Tab view.

Does anyone know the reasoning for this flags removal?
Dear all, I urge you to reinstate the #edge-window-tab-manager flag!
The absence of a disable option leads to explorer.exe crashing on every machine, every time. Despite adjustments in Windows settings, explorer.exe consistently crashes due to high handle counts. This issue is widely recognized yet seems to have been overlooked by developers.
