Don't use this keyboard shortcut in Windows 11 24H2: It will result in a black screen
To be as productive as possible when using Windows, we use a series of keyboard shortcuts that have been with us for years. For example, there is an application that you use every day to move more smoothly between running applications.
On most occasions, we have several programs running in Windows and we navigate between them in different ways. For example, we can use the always-on taskbar to click on the icon of the programs. But we also have the possibility, something most of you are used to, of using a keyboard shortcut.
Specifically, we are referring to using the Alt + Tab key combination to quickly switch between open applications. It allows us to switch between multiple windows of active applications in Windows, but it seems that this can now become a serious problem in the latest version of the operating system. For the many issues that have already been discovered and discussed with the 24H2 Windows 11 update, we will now add a new one.
We tell you all this because, as we have seen, after updating the operating system to the latest 24H2 Windows 11 version that was recently released, using this key combination causes a serious failure. Specifically, when using the aforementioned Alt + Tab combination, we may encounter a disturbing black screen that blocks the computer for a while.
Given the widespread use of this keyboard shortcut by the majority, this is undoubtedly a bug that Microsoft should fix as soon as possible.
In fact, it is important to keep in mind that this is a fairly common error among all those who have already updated to Windows 11 24H2. Let's say you press Alt + Tab and the black screen that appears remains for about 10 seconds. This is clearly a serious annoyance.
In fact, the tech giant Microsoft has already confirmed that it will fix this important flaw in its upcoming Patch Tuesday update in December.
