    Hi.I'm using Win10 Pro, on a fairly old desktop machine that I built myself, and have upgraded up from Windows 7 over the years.For a few months, Yeah I know, I finally got so sick of my temporary solution that I am now looking for a real one, I have periodically had an issue where I am unable to switch which window is focused, and interactable. I can still see other windows, and they visually update as normal, even reacting to the cursor hovering over buttons, but clicking on the window, hitting alt+tab or Win+Tab, or clicking on the taskbar icon does not change that window to be the active

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    On a domain you won't get Task Manager when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. You get a crazy screen with a bunch of options.

    Ctrl+Shift+Esc has always brought up just the Task Manager, even back to Windows XP days. You just weren't aware of it. *Wink [Win10] Frequently, I am unable to switch the focused window. Ctrl+Alt+Del temporarily... ;)

    Go ahead, try it in Windows XP too.

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    Depends on whether you have the Welcome Screen, or the Domain Logon screen at boot up.
