Shift-tab to bring up Steam overlay, alt-tab to desktop. When done alt-tab back to Steam overlay then shift-tab back into the game.

Seems legit,but I don't use overlay.

(alt tab) switches applications, (alt enter) I think exit's full screen on games

I use the SCRH WindowMode mod, one of several alternatives for improving Skyrim's window behaviour.

Ctr-Alt-Del, click on Task manager works to window out.

To window back in, click the Skyrim window icon, windows out, click on it again. You now reentered the Skyrim window.

EDIT: this definately works on Windows 8.1, it may also work for 10.

Are you talking about where if you alt tab in, the Windows Cursor will be visible? I found that pausing the game and having no other prompts up should ensure that the Windows Cursor does not show up. But I do have alt-tab back into Skyrim twice.

I know that it must recover twice to return game,I just use (win10):No explorer.exe,minimize,then miximize holding alt+tab AND I PRESS THE ICON - helping,but yeah 50/50 u might recover it if u don't have console opened.

When launching game go to options and check windowed mode
