I need to swap back and forth between my code editor and my browser to see the changes I make. BUT EVERY TIME alt+tab makes it to the browser it just starts cycling through EVERY SINGLE TAB I have open in the browser! No one wants this! and there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off. Now instead of a quick switch to and back, I have to cycle through dozens of open tabs I need on my browser! I'M SO FED UP I had to switch back to Chrome because go figure NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS BUT MICROSOFT EDGE! There has to be an option to turn this useless feature off, its causing actual stress and not to mention adding countless minutes to my workload.

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    On Windows, go to Settings > System > Multitasking > Under Alt + Tab set it to "Open Windows Only"
