 I'm trying to find a way for Alt-Tab or Win-Tab to work across virtual desktops and two monitors. Currently when I Alt-Tab or Win-Tab I only see the processes running on the two visible desktops.

If I have Chrome open on Virtual Desktop 1 on monitor 2 and Outlook running on Virtual Desktop 2 on monitor 1 and Football Manager running on Virtual Desktop 2 on monitor 2. and I'm currently looking at Chrome and Outlook then the Task Switcher displays two programs Outlook and Chrome. If I switch to Football Manager, the the Task Switcher continues to show two programs, Outlook and Football Manager.

In addition the Task Bars on each monitor display only the "visible" applications.

I've tinkered with some of the task bar tools available to me, but when I do, I still don't seem to get it correct. Also when I do, the task bar on my Surface Books monitor becomes so tiny it's unreadable.

Is there a way to get ALL running apps in the Task-Switcher/Task Bar?

 Hello, Timothy

What OS are you running (name, version)?

What our product are you running (name, version)?

Did you mean Chrome and Football Manager? Because from your description Outlook and Football Manager are on different Virtual Desktops but on the same monitor.

Do you use Independent mode for Virtual Desktops?

 Hi Bogdan,

I'm running Win 10, patched with the most recent patch last night.

and AWM v8.8.

I attached a picture using my very rudimentary artistic skills.

I would like a way to display all three apps in the task switcher, not just the two that are on the currently "visible" desktops.

 Timothy,

Sorry for misunderstanding, I should have read more carefully.

Unfortunatlely, there is no way to do this. This is just the way Task Switcher interacts with Virtual Desktops.

But we'll consider this as a feature request.
