I have Windows 11 24H2 installed.

The ALT+TAB window switcher from Windows is not working properly when Nexus Ultimate is running. Only windows that are not full screen appear in the switcher. I scoured the settings in Nexus Ultimate and could not find anything that fixes this problem. Yet again there are so many settings, maybe I missed something. Or maybe this is only available in Winstep Xtreme?

There is no such setting anywhere. This has nothing to do with Nexus and everything to do with Win 11 24H2, which is causing this problem - and a heap of others besides. Running Win11 24H2 is just asking for trouble, anyway.

AltAppSwitcher is a decent solution that even works on 24H2.

I've been testing various setups with Windows 11 24H2 and Nexus Ultimate, and can confirm this ALT+TAB behavior is indeed related to how Windows 11 handles full-screen window rendering in this build, not specifically Nexus itself.

A practical workaround I've found effective is using AltAppSwitcher, as mentioned earlier — it's lightweight, customizable, and doesn't conflict with Nexus.

Alternatively, if anyone prefers native Windows behavior and still wants to stick with Nexus Ultimate, rolling back to Windows 11 23H2 temporarily restores expected ALT+TAB functionality until Microsoft resolves the 24H2 rendering quirks.

Hopefully, Winstep or Microsoft might offer compatibility improvements in upcoming updates.

Let me know if anyone wants a step-by-step on configuring AltAppSwitcher for smoother integration with Nexus.

Oh, look, an AI bot! :D

I'll ban it, but will leave the post itself since the information in it is pretty much accurate.

I think Microsoft have already fixed the ALT+TAB problem, though?
