Windows 10 is going to change the functionality of the Alt-Tab key combination starting with the upcoming major update of the operating system, which is currently known by the code name Redstone 5. According to those from Microsoft, a change is being tested in Windows 10 that will no longer allow the Alt-Tab key combination to be used only to switch from one application to another, but to switch between tabs in an application opened by users.
Windows 10 has a new Sets function implemented by the Microsoft company, and this modification for the Alt-Tab functionality is closely related to the Sets function, allowing the opening of tabs in applications, just like in Internet browsers. Windows 10 will not eliminate the possibility of using Alt-Tab to switch from one application to another, but will additionally allow switching between open tabs in an application, perhaps even those in a browser for browsing the Internet.
Windows 10 Change Alt-Tab Functionality
Windows 10 makes this change after many years in which the Alt-Tab functionality remained unchanged, and many people will have to get used to the new way of using this iconic system for Windows. Microsoft is going to implement this change for the future beta version of Windows 10 in the next period, so by the time the final version is released, we will know everything about the important change.
Windows 10 does not have this change announced as safe, and that's because Microsoft will first wait to see if the users who test it are satisfied enough with it to recommend the implementation to the rest of the world. It is not known how long it will take to test this change in Windows 10 before allowing its implementation for everyone, but Microsoft will analyze everything very carefully before making such an important change.
