ALT+TAB ERROR
When I use alt+tab with wallpaper engine running my games, alt+tab doesn't work properly, when I press it the command works, but when I want to return to the game, it doesn't return me, it opens it, but after a second it leaves me on the desktop again, it happens with apex legends, rocket and csgo, I don't play more games than I have installed so I don't know if it happens with other games. I NEED A SOLUTION.

there's a chance that it's a command in wallpaper engine? like you can't alt tab out of excell either, things happen >.> you might want to manually click the program in the task bar instead?

I don't understand what you mean by "you might want to manually click the program in the task bar instead?"

I assume he means instead of trying to ALT+TAB back into your game, just click the game's icon on your task bar instead.

Yes I did.

You know that bar at the bottom of your screen? Just click the game icon on that and see if it works then

If I understood you correctly, then this is definitely not a common issue and I am not sure why alt-tabbing would not work properly. Most-likely, something else is interfering with Wallpaper Engine if you can reliably reproduce this issue only when Wallpaper Engine is running. Please try running our scan tool and share the log file it creates as explained here:

hello, I already sent my email with all the data, apparently it was a problem with ReLive.

It could be, yes, though I don't remember ReLive causing this type of problem. It could be because you are using Windows 10 Enterprise on a version from 2018, maybe that's somehow causing some odd behavior in combination with these apps. You can try and turn off Wallpaper Engine while a fullscreen game is active by setting "Other application fullscreen" to "Stop (free memory)" in the Performance tab of the Wallpaper Engine settings, maybe that also helps.

I will try that and if it does not work I will update my windows, if not I will send another ticket, in any case thank you very much for the attention and speed, it should be noted that it does not always happen, only sometimes, but it happens often.
