    How do i disable Alt+Tab shortcut?

    Hello again, I did some research and found something that can help you, however will have to mess with the Windows registry and this type of modification is rarely advisable.

    This can be disabled via the registry:

    Start the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)

    Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

    Double click on Coolswitch

    Set to 0 and click OK

    Close the registry editor

    You need to restart the computer for this to take effect.

    Thank you for the reply.

    But it unfortunately does not fix my issue. With these settings, the Alt+Tab is still active. I would love to know a setting that completely turns it off (if that’s even possible)
