Microsoftis prepping a key update to the multitasking system inWindows 11that many people will welcome with open arms, whether you’re working from home remotely or using a Windows-based laptop in the office.
To be clear: this isn’t a mind-blowing system overhaul that changes the DNA of Windows 11, but rather a thoughtful tweaking of the Alt + Tab mechanism so that it is no longer full-screen.

The new Alt + Tab interface boosts users' abilities to multitask, meaning that when you want to switch between one of your respective open apps with Alt + Tab and head to another app, you’ll no longer get a full-screen blurred effect.
Whilst we didn’t really mind the visual effect here at T3, there have been instances in which users have found the effect to be distracting on some of thebest laptopdevices running Windows 11. Why so? Well, it all comes down to how the effect manifests itself on the display itself, with the blurring effect often concealing an open application and any work being completed therein.
No more distraction
So far so good then, it seems: the new setup keeps the background in focus and shows all open apps on top of a thin strip bar, as opposed to hiding your open sessions and disrupting your workflow. Something we can all be glad for as Windows still remains the most popular OS.
