Happening on Win 10 Home x64 build 1909.

DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart

PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013

DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do. (After all there's enough hostility on the internet already which really doesn't help anyone. Thanks.)

Pretty much always been like that. The only way to switch/minimize is if you already have a window open. Some people say this is normal, but it's not. If you only have one window open, Alt+Tab should minimize that window, and in this case, Win should open the menu/taskbar.

Exactly. Tapping Windows-key in any (fullscreen-) application to either view taskbar or even open the Windows Start-menu has always been an integral part of Windows-applications...

I'm so glad we have this "feature". I could spread so much hate on other sim devs for not having it. Nothing sucks more than being kicked out of the sim by inadvertendly pressing that friggen Windows key ever so often, just to discover your stick's gone limp again after alt-tabbing back in, leaving you to having to restart the whole sim again.

 

Thank you ED!

ALT+TAB switch is not disabled, so you can perform core PC functions and troubleshooting

 

Not when the window refuses to focus. Every single time DCS hangs and I Ctrl Alt Del to task manager, ALT Tab is INOP and I am stuck on the hung DCS screen.

Maybe you should write to Microsoft to ask to fix ALT+TAB function with a not responding fullscreen application.

Are you complaining with you can press CTRL+ALT+DELETE? With that you can do what is doable in Windows.

ALT+TAB is always a solution for me in Win8.1, I use DCS in full screen but full screen is not checked in options! I always run at least 1 app beside DCS. And I use Classic Shell for the familiar start menu. Working for years. I've seen many hangs, crashes and hardware failures too, but ALT+TAB worked.

Nowadays Win key + L lock the screen during DCS gameplay.

Maybe wort to ask ed for authorize Win key + R (Run) combination during DCS gameplay,

that could be helpful for troubleshooting, like "pskill dcs" command to run (In LOMAC times that was very helpful. That worked in blind mode, blind typing.)
