Microsoft fixes Alt + Tab shortcut bug on Windows 11

The Alt + Tab shortcut will display both tabs and windows and allow users to switch between running programs. While using the first preview build of Windows 11 , many users in the Dev channel encountered an issue where windows would become blurry when pressing Alt + Tab.

But of course, since Windows 11 is still in its early days and only available in the Windows Insider program, bugs are understandable, and apparently Microsoft has quickly fixed the whole issue with the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.65 update.

As you can see in the screenshot above, everything looks exactly as you would expect after pressing Alt + Tab, so if your open program thumbnails are blurry, you just need to install Windows 11 build 22000.65, which is currently available as part of the Windows Insider program in the Dev channel, to fix the issue.

Windows 11 is still a work in progress, so don't be too surprised if you encounter a number of different errors while using it.

According to Microsoft's schedule, the next-generation Windows operating system is expected to launch this fall, and the company has teased a release that could take place in October. Windows 11 will be offered as a free upgrade to eligible Windows 10 PCs, with users able to start downloading Win 11 in the last months of 2021 and early 2022.

In addition to encountering a number of errors on Windows 11, many users are also concerned about losing data and losing all installed tools before updating to Windows 11. So is there any way to upgrade Windows 11 without losing data and installed software?
