Alt Tab in Windows 11 takes over the entire screen - ewww

Copper Contributor

Can I do feedback here? Anyone from Microsoft sees this? 

 

The full screen ALT TAB is bad. Throws one's attention outside the workflows. 

 

Please consider going back to the Win10 UI in ALT-TAB, or even better - the Win7 (in Windows 7, the Desktop had it's own view - which was great!). 

 

Also - the thing Windows does where it WRAPS the window in this title - is horrible!!! (again - to workflow and aesthetics as well) 

 

Thanks! 

 

PS - anyone else agrees?

Agree completely, and its ludicrously slow. I was used to doing three finger swipe up and immediately switching to the previous app (via the touch pad with High precision drivers). Now when I three finger swipe up, it takes a half second to a second for the switching UI to display, and if I release too early, it just doesn't switch at all. SOS

Totally agree.
It's 2021 already Microsoft.
Can't u guys make something like this?

+1 here!
At least they should provide an option to choose the alt+tab style.

Navigating the new AltTab UI with the keyboard becomes very difficult once you have a fair amount of windows opened, because it is difficult to pinpoint the selected window for only the rounded edges remain as part of the highlight. Below is a sample. The window with current focus is the second on the top left corner.

Also, everytime you go back to an office application, it appear as if you have Alt to have keyboard shortcuts. It's a horrible experience for the people used to work only with keyboard and a lot of apps or files opened.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Especially if you have a dark window full-screen at the time... There is not enough contrast between the background and the selection.
