Any way to fix alt tab?

[PassaRis]

When i Alt Tab to see something on the internet,etc, i cant alt tab back into the game and i need to close it and open it again. Is there any way to fix this?

Simplest fix which will work most of the time - pause the game (open a menu or the console) and first Shift+Tab to open the Steam Overlay. THEN you should be able to alt+tab out and back in again without issue at least 95% of the time.

Probably better fix in the long run and may also improve performance a bit by letting you run in 'fake fullscreen'/borderless windowed mode - install One Tweak[www.nexusmods.com] (requires SKSE.)

(Also, there's a reasonably useable browser in the Steam Overlay, works fine for most sites, googling info, UESP, youtube, reddit, steam forums, etc, so if you're mostly alt+tabbing out to your browser, you might want to try that out - easiest way to open it is to click 'view discussions' which is kind of in the middlish bottom right when you open the Overlay - I think you need to set up a home page for new tabs, it's pretty straightforward.)

First, click Alt + Tab to open the game. There will be a huge black window on the screen. Alt + Tab to open the game again, and you'll be back in the game. Occasionally, when you get back in the game you'll have two cursors. To fix that, Alt + Tab out of the game, then Alt + Tab to open the game, and when the black window is on the screen, click on it (on the top bar, not the black part) and drag it. Alt + Tab again to get back in the game, and the second cursor's gone. If you use Shift + Tab to open the Steam Overlay before using Alt + Tab to minimize the game, you'll never have the double cursor problem.

This works for me:
When you are outside of the game, double click on the skyrim icon in the task bar. If it doesnt go back in the game, press alt + tab once more, and double click again. Make sure to pause the game via Esc before alt tabbing otherwise you get two cursors when you go back in

Geez just use OneTweak instead of those barbarian methods.

The Shift + Tab works just fine. Thanks. I installed the OneTweak but since the shift + tab works im good for now.
