Are you holding down the alt key while you press tab, or are you letting up
each time?

Hi, Tom. Have you tried exiting JAWS, running Narrator, and trying to ALT
TAB between three or more programs? Does it work, or are you still
restricted to switching between only the last two programs? If you are
restricted using Narrator, it is a Windows problem, not a JAWS 2021 problem.
If, indeed, JAWS is what is restricting your view of the programs with ALT
TAB, I don't know what to tell you. I am using JAWS 2021, and I am not
having this problem.



One thing you might try is to use the command,



JAWS key plus SPACE, followed by Z



to put you into Alternate User Directory mode. This will cause all JAWS
configurations to become temporarily inactive until you perform the same
command,



JAWS key plus SPACE, followed by Z



again. This will help you to determine if it is something in your JAWS user
settings that is causing this restriction in switching between programs.

Subject: switching to running programs



I have a slight problem. If I have more than 2 programs running and I try to
switch to the 3rd or 4th program with alt, tab I can only switch to the
first 2 programs that are running. Using insert F10 I can see all 4
running programs and switch to the one I want to use. Makes it difficult
when I am paying bills and have running the bank, Jaws and my bills paid
document. Every time I switch to see what and how much the net bill is I
have tuse insert F10 to switch to the bills paid document. Never was this
way till Jaws 2021. How do I get back to where I can alt tab to all the open
programs. Thanks Tom
