Windows 10 brought a very interesting feature along with it, called the Task Switcher. The task switcher enables users to switch among various applications and windows running on your computer. When you are using laptops, you might not be using mouse. In that case, switching between tabs and task will becomes easier with task switcher. The task switcher has a shortcut, which is the Alt+Tab key combination. When you press these key combinations, the Task Switcher displays all the opened apps on your desktop in a grid view, with a transparent background. If you do not prefer this transparency, you can hide the background windows, by tweaking the registry settings.
The transparency may distract your eyes and that’s it! There are no other issues regarding this. So Hiding or showing the background won’t make much difference. In this article, I have attached two registry files, one for hiding background windows and the other one for showing background windows.
Show ALT+TAB Background Windows
If you want to show Alt+Tab background Windows, download the .reg file below. The .reg file is compressed in a zip format. Unzip the file and run it. Click on Merge. You may be warned by User Access Control. Click OK to grant permission.
Hide ALT+TAB Background Windows
If you want to hide Alt+Tab background Windows, download the .reg file below. The .reg file is compressed in a zip format. Unzip the file and run it. Then, click on Merge to add the registry change. You may be warned by User Access Control. Click OK to grant permission.
That’s all!
