New Alt + Tab feature for Insider users

Starting with Windows 10 build 20161, all open tabs in Microsoft Edge will begin to appear in Alt + Tab , not just working in each browser window.

If you want fewer tabs or experience the classic Alt + Tab , Microsoft has added some settings for you in Settings> System> Multitasking . You can configure Alt + Tab to display only the last 3 or 5 tabs, or select " Open windows only " to turn off this feature completely.

This Alt + Tab feature is currently being implemented for a subset of Insider users in the Dev Channel and requires a Canary or Microsoft Edge build (version 83.0.475.0 or higher).
