Alt + Tab key combination
Hi guys. I have a problem when I play certain games, I sometimes need ALT + TAB key combination. And because of this, the game is minimized. Is there any way to disable this combination? Or change to other keys. I didn't find a solution on the Internet. Thanks for the reply.

You can change the controls in the settings of most games.

Alt+Tab minimizing a game is because it is Window's keyboard shortcut to change programs, not a game specific control.

Unfortunately there does not appear to be much you can do to change Window's behavior, so you're stuck changing your and the game's behavior. (E.G. change the action currently bound to Alt to a key that does not interact with Tab)

But not in this case. It's all about convenience, I need other keys, and if I put far away, I will not be comfortable. If it were that simple, I would have changed it by now. But I need precisely alt and tab.

Not sure whether that still works. I am however sure it's far more convenient to get used to alt tab being off-limits, than these workarounds breaking on you randomly when MS does a minor or a major update.

I'm just curious what game are you playing and what alt and tab do in that game?
