AltTabMenu not working with classic alt tab menu

Post by Aenfa » 16 Aug 2022, 15:22

I have the classic alt tab menu enabled (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer AltTabSettings set to 1) but have found the AltTab feature doesn't show the menu. It just acts as though I pressed alt+esc.

Code: Select all

Ctrl & t::AltTabMenu
The above code should show the alt+tab menu when pressing ctrl+t. It doesn't when the classic alt tab menu is enabled and just switches to the last window. I have also tried AltTab and Send, {Alt down}{tab} to no avail.

Some versions of Windows (probably 8 and later) require applications to have uiAccess=true in the application manifest in order to automate the classic Alt Tab menu. In other words, you must use AutoHotkey*_UIA.exe to run the script, such as by using Run with UI access.
