Hi BMG, Yes, I couldn't spend time on this for long time. I'll try to make it soon. I think, this one is small one only. Yes, please pull the source code and contribute. Thank you so much.
-
Hey Lokesh :) I didn't hear back since some time. I still love to use this tool. are you planning to do more updates? or can I contribute somewhere?
-
Thank you so much for your inputs. I'll go through them and let you know my observations. Thank you.

I finally found a reproduceable bug that stops me from alt-tabbing to other applications: Install ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2025 Trial https://www.acdsee.com/en/products/photo-studio-ultimate/thank-you/ Start ACDSee Photo Studio and see you have a "Sign In" modal Try and alt-tab to another process I usually find myself trapped, and unable to switch to any other applications. Hope this helps you find the bug.

Sometimes I can successfully switch to Sumatra PDF viewer, but not always. I never seem to be able to switch to Chrome,...
-
Yes, I tried many approaches but failed to identify the exact issue. No, I will keep it open. Thank you so much.
-
I recklessly disabled alttab, reverting to standard Windows 10 alt-tab behaviour, and discovered that this inability to switch windows also happens there. So whatever the problem is, it's not related to your program. Please feel free to close this ticket.
-
Yes, sometimes failed to create AltTabWindow and AltTab won't work after this error. Need to restart, please try this. I do not understand how to reproduce this also. Thank you.
-
alttab UI disappears (but still works)
-
AltTabAlterntaive was developed using AutoHotkey. Now, it's really difficult to make changes in AutoHotkey script. So developed AltTab using C++. Actually, I had tried to use the AutoHotkey library in C++ but couldn't. I'll check. Thank you so much.

Just to add - in the list of the windows I see the other window (second in the list) is actually selected, but the focus switch does not happen upon release (if everything is done quickly enough).
-
Quickly pressing Alt-Tab does not switch windows
-
Hi, I made "Run At Startup" enabled by default when the application starts. Will do the appropriate changes to enable it manually. Thank you. Lokesh

can you release it officially ? :)
-
Thank you :)
-
Hi Lokesh It work perfectly thank you a lot :)
-
Hi BMG, After checking the native AltTab behavior, I understood that single click is the right option to activate the window. Please check the attached .7z. Thank you.

@lokesh Any update ? :)
-
Thank you.
-
No. 2024.4 seems much better. Thank you
-
Hi Kerry, Have you seen any crash in 2024.4? Could you please check. Thank you.
-
Oh, nice. Thank you.
-
I just tested it :) it works :)
-
Ohh, I do not understand what's the issue here. How come were you able to run previous binaries. Recently, I have upgraded to Windows 11. I have just build AltTab on Windows 11. I really do not understand.
-
Hi Lokesh Govindu. MS Defender doesnt let me run the file.
-
Hi BGM, Please check with the attached AltTab.zip and let me know if it works for you. Thank you.
-
Hi BMG, OK. I don't know about this. I'll take care of this situation. Please give me some time.
-
Hi Lokesh Sure :) I run Windows Server 2022 and as the shell I configured a custom script which starts some specific software I want to run. so this way explorer.exe is not loaded as a shell app resulting in no Desktop, no Taskbar etc. but just running the apps I defined in a script as the shell. this way there is no way for a program to live in the tray as there is no tray. interestingly I have also other software which normally have a tray icon running, but they don't care and just keep working....
-
Hi BMG, I do not understand clearly. Could you please add some more details. What is no explorer.exe means? What is the OS are you using?
-
I actually cannot run the software in my environment (no explorer.exe) with the error "Failed to add AltTab tray icon"

Yes, I use IntelliJ IDEA. I'll check. Thank you.
-
Yes, I too observed. Reason for failure is failed to create AltTab window. I'll try to fix this ASAP. Thank you so much.
-
Does not change focus from Intellij
-
Seems to be crashing a lot
-
It was FuzzyMatchPercent=60 (the default), but I've since changed it to 80 (to pick a number at random) and I like the results more.
-
Yes, it seems there are some issues in fuzzy string matching algo. What is the fuzzy string matching percent you have set? I'll work on highlighting the matched text. Yes, will make it opensource. Thank you so much.
