Win Switch windows

There are several ways to switch between active windows.

TOGGLE BETWEEN LAST TWO WINDOWS

Press Alt-Tab once.

TOGGLE BETWEEN ALL WINDOWS

Hold Alt down while pressing Tab. Pressing Tab cycles through all the icons of the open applications in a round robin sequence. When the icon of what you want is displayed, let go of the Alt key.

CLICK ON ANY VISIBLE PART OF THE WINDOW

You can switch to another window by clicking on any visible part of it. If you can see any side or corner, simply click on it to make it the current topmost window.

Your Window Did Not Go Away

When you switch windows, the other windows may be temporarily out of view. Just hold Alt down and press Tab several times. Look at the icons and window titles as they appear one after the other. When you get to the one you want, let go of the Alt key.
