WWGeezer Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Did the ability to Alt Tab out of the game go away, or did I change a setting by accident? I had to take my computer down for some home improvement, got everything back together, game running fine, but I seem to have lost the ability to Alt Tab out of the game while its running.
[SRH]Festa_VR_Noob Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I`ve been ok with Alt-Tab, and I`m on windows 7. I have two friends who play this game and they both run windows 10. Neither of them can alt-tab without the game either crashing, or not minimising at all.
=TBAS=Sshadow14 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Alt Tab works in Windows 10 for IL2 (tho on some systems its a problem and gets stuck)JUST MAKE SURE You have a random folder open on desktop behind the game (eg, explorer or game folder)Also helps if you have 2 monitors you can alt tab easier to other screen.I also run fullscreen and still alt tab (10-100 times per battle maybe)
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 You can't alt tab back to desktop and have il2 minimalised on task bar, you can just switch to others programs like Explorer with open folder or manipulate task items like volume. But it's broken in win 10.
WWGeezer Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 I run windows 7 and I have two monitors. I run our server with a remote interface and use server commands during the mission, so I tab out all the time, to launch the server or switch missions. Not sure what I changed, thought maybe "full screen" or v-sync options under graphics might have impacted it. And your right, it does not minimize, just frees up my mouse to scroll to the other screen Will keep experimenting to see if ai can get it back on track Thanks for the comments guys
JG300_Olrik Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Can't use alt+tab since last patch (I am on W7 64) but only if an other else application is running, no matter wich.
=VARP=Cygann Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 You can always press Ctrl+Alt+Del and then select Task manager. That will open another UI window you can Alt-Tab into.
Russkly Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 I'm having the same problem since v2.009 (W10 64). When I try to alt+tab back into game after alt+tabbing out, everything's frozen and means I have to use Task Manager to End Process and then restart IL2. Kind of frustrating, because I want to be able to do other stuff between sorties. R
JG300_Olrik Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Try to uncheck fullscreen. Edited April 14, 2017 by F/JG300_Touch
Y-29.Silky Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 It's 2018 and this problem is driving me nuts. Yes I know, I Ctrl+Alt+Del works after I smash the Win+Tab/Alt-Tab about 10 times but it's getting annoying. Maybe Windows 10 is the culprit.

Must be windows 10 as windows 7 Alt Tabbing is Flawless Bug free and easy (provided i leave a folder open) For me atleast. Maybe is another setting My only issue is the game scoreboad is very laggy and buggy when i alt tab it slow down everything as it open scores.
