MicrosoftDev channel update to 86.0.622.3 is live
Right, that's the perfect description. I'm on Windows version 20H2 build 19042.508. I got it to happen on Beta and Stable as well, only recently though, I think it started happening when the update that shows Edge tabs in the Alt-Tab menu came.
It seems to happen only if Edge is the first or second app interestingly, if it's the 3rd or further and not selected, the issue just never occurs.
So in short, it only happens when Edge is running and is the 'front' app. Occurs on Dev, Beta and Stable, currently on Windows version 20H2 build 19042.508.
Microsoftlonglam Since I'm not on 20H2 and still see something similar, I'd guess this is an existing Windows issue, but our team might be interested if our work to show Edge tabs in alt+tab is making it worse, so I'll definitely make sure they know. And the fact that it only happens when you quickly alt+tab (since moving to the 3rd or 4th slot takes time) suggests that this may also be timing-based, like Windows can't figure out fast enough which application it's supposed to bring to the front.
josh_bodner Ah I might have phrased that badly, I meant that when switching between 2 top-most apps, as long as neither of them is Edge, the issue just never happens, even if I'm switching between them rapidly (I bind a touchpad gesture to Alt-Tab, that's how I'm doing it so quickly).
However, when Edge is used (either the 1st or 2nd app), the issue start to occur. Apologies if there were confusions.

longlam No problem, our engineers knew what you meant, since they too could only get it to happen when Edge was one of the first few apps. It looks like other people have reported something similar, so they're investigating!
