Can't alt+tab?

[Nordomus]

Screen goes black and I have to alt+tab again to go back to game and do anything.

[Darkrage_nl]

try running the game in borderless windowed mode.

do shift+tab then alt+tab!
or easier said get up steam overlay and then switch to other program!

Bethsda games in general are really REALLY bad about alt-tab.

You generally need to alt-tab once, then alt tab again to actually fully tab out of the game, and you're not able to see the target tab you're tabbing to, so you got to do it on instinct. I've tabbed out of it a lot, and it's just a PITA, but fully possible.

Same here, also media key won't work (FN + f1 to mute sound)

In OG Skyrim you couldn't alt tab at all. Least in SE if you windows key+tab you can

OG Skyrim had the same deal.

I handled it by holding Alt+Tab and then clicking the screen I wanted with my mouse.

Doesn't work for me but yeah I had some problems with alttabing in oSkyrim as well of course but I hoped they fixed it, yeah right...

I think there's a "switch to other program" option on the overlay. I tried alt tabbing and got caught in a "limbo" between the desktop and the game couldn't do anything except execute a hard shutdown.

I run dualscreen, and I've noticed the following about alt+tab behaviour: after I've alt tabbed, there is another active window, butthe mouse will still kinda be in Skyrim. I need to drag it far to the side and then click to actually get out of Skyrim and have whatever on the other screen properly active. (This is with running WIndowed Borderless.)

Alt tab, then alt tab again, but this time hold the alt key, and cycle with tab.

Release alt when happy.

Yesterdays patch is suposed to fix this issue, I didn't try it, someone can confirm?

All of Bethesda's games have had problems with Alt Tabbing, as far back as Oblivion. It's just something people need to avoid doing. I'm not sure why people think it's a big issue, either you're playing the game or you're not. If you're not, then just exit completely. It's not a huge hassle rebooting the game later on if you decide you want to play again.

For some reason nvidiaInspector won't cap my fps unless I run in full screen causing weird s*** on my 144hz monitor and I refuse to manually change refresh rate before and after playing SE :( Already started using Pad because I can't stand sprint toggle ( bad/slightly numb pinky finger means accidental activation without noticing and just awkward in general)

I can alt tab now but it breaks my fps limiter meaning I need to quit and restart. In-game web browser it is for now.
