ALT+TAB issue still unresolved : windows 7
hi there, i researched and tested many methods (including 3rd party utilities) on the net on how to fix this, but haven't found the exact solution.
basically, i have 2 programs running, and when i ALT+TAB while on Program 1, it switches to Program 2, BUT NOT BEFORE i see a momentary flash of my desktop image in between. i have another pc which runs on win 10 and this does not occur.
i have disabled aero peek, both at taskbar>properties & system>advanced settings>performance (and also desktop composition). i did not note any major difference, except i switch a bit faster. i still see the desktop.
i also don't care about any preview panel or anything like that, so switching back to the old xp ALT+TAB does nothing for me. all i want is ALT + TAB to switch directly from Program 1 to Program 2, circumventing the image of the desktop in between, or any preview tabs. i will never switch between more than 2 programs for the purpose of this exercise so cycling between 3 or more programs is moot.
ALT+ESC doesn't always work for me; it has to be ALT+TAB.
if there is no official way, i am willing to hack part of windows/registry, if anyone could relay reasonably logical steps for me to follow.
any ideas greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
ps. i haven't tested this software called DisplayFusion, it appears too complicated for me to understand at first glance. Do you think it would help what i am trying to achieve? Turning off the Desktop using NirCMD does not work either, i still see a flash of the desktop.
