As per the latest development, it is now testing a new Alt-Tab switcher. In comparison with the earlier (current) now, there is a major difference in the preview window as well as the translucency. In the new build, you now get a much smaller preview window, and the blurry effect now only surrounds the preview window whereas the rest of the screen will be transparent. This is in stark comparison with the earlier build where the entire screen adopted the blurry background.
With that said, the major question is how to enable the new Alt Tab switcher on your Windows 11 PC right away? Well, Windows has started the rollout of this new switcher window for its Insider Preview Build version 22526. However, this is still a staged rollout and is yet to reach even most of the Insider Preview build users. So if you are also in the waiting line, then you’ll be glad to know that you could easily cut off this wait time and welcome it onto your PC right away. Let’s check out how.
