How To Disable Microsoft Edge Tabs In Alt+tab On Windows 10
Vladimir Stringfield
You can disable Microsoft Edge tabs in the Alt+Tab dialog in Windows 11 if you don't like this behavior. By default, Alt+Tab adds 5 most recent tabs open in Microsoft Edge to app thumbnails when you switch between windows.
Alternatively, you can configure the Alt+Tab dialog in the Registry. This method comes in handy when the Settings app is not accessible, or when you need to deploy your preferences between multiple computers.

I been looking for a way to disable tabs in Edge, but have been unsuccessful. Let me provide some additional details. The user in question is my mother, who is blind, so there is no use of the mouse, only keyboard commands. Alt+Tabbing around has always been standard practice to find the window she is looking for, but when multiple tabs open on one window it makes it extremely difficult for a blind person to navigate. Imagine having 3 Edge windows open with 5 tabs each. You would have to Alt+Tab to the window you think has the tab you're looking for, then Ctrl+Tab though the the 5 tabs to see if the page you are looking for is there...and if not, go onto the next window. If they were all separate windows with no tabs you could just press Alt+Tab till the speech software tells you you're on the window your looking for. Old Internet Explorer and Chrome have ways of making links open in new windows, but she must use Edge for a different device compatibility reason.
I am aware that Shft+Enter on a link would open a new window but that has it's own problems. The user would have to know when it was appropriate to open a new window. Old IE was setup so it would navigate in one window/tab, but if you hit Enter on a link external to the current site you were on, it would open a new window. Or if you hit Enter on a link in email it would open a new window.
Hi,
I've disabled the ability to use ALT+TAB to cycle through edge browser tabs when cycling through programs in Windows Multitasking settings, yet the still appear when I press ALT+TAB. There appears to be no browser setting for disabling it, though I found one source that said a flag should be available (edge-window-tab-manager). Unfortunately, that flag appears to be missing in the current version of Edge.
A semi-workaround is selecting the "Open windows and 3 most recent tabs in Edge," which indeed limits the number in the application switcher to 3. However, "Open windows only" does the exact same thing as "Open windows and all tabs in Edge."
How can I disable this behavior? Some time back, I was enjoying Edge as a Chromium-based Chrome alternative, but this started happening and it seems to be impossible to disable. This makes the browser unusable for me (I am a developer--I always have numerous instances of IDEs and such open, as well as dozens of tabs.)
(Is there a place to report bugs for Edge? This is the closest thing I can find, yet in my experience usually doesn't get replies from MS.)
Thanks,
Travis
about the flag you mentioned, edge://flags/#edge-window-tab-manager
it's been available in Edge canary, if everything goes well, it will make it to Beta and eventually stable release of Edge too, maybe even becomes an option in Edge settings.
as a suggestion, you can use virtual desktops in Windows 10 for organizing your works and separate them in any order you want, they can be given custom names, open programs can be moved between virtual desktops, and also, Edge in Canary (probably Dev channel too by now), supports custom names for each window.
Why are you messing with things that are working. Alt+Tab for switching programs and Ctrl+Tab for switching tabs already exists. If you have lots of Windows with lots of tabs open in them, switching through them will be a nightmare. Sure, we might be able to turn it off in the options but this is a terrible default. It's not just "power users" that have lots of windows with multiple tabs open. They are never going to find the option to turn off Alt+Tab Hijacking buried deep in the settings. For these users their Alt+Tab experience will be ruined. Again, Edge might give me the option to turn off Alt+Tab Hijacking but what if other programs also move in this direction and make their tabs show up in the Alt+Tab switcher, now will I have to go to each program and turn this off, that is assuming that they will make that option available. Why mess with something that isn't broken? There's already a well respected paradigm for switching apps with Alt+Tab and switching tabs with Ctrl+Tab. Why muddle the waters, why create more confusion? Why is Microsoft dead set on making Windows as inconsistent as possible. We already have a billion different context menus in Windows. This move to hijack Alt+Tab is aggravating.
@KoshyG @Deleted @MissyQ @posinha Truly agree with you. The Microsoft Edge Team is not focussing on the internals, rather they are more working to bring new features to make this browser stand out among the browsers market.
There are many problems which I have highlighted almost 6 months ago and there is still no update on these. The great thing is the team hadn't even acknowledged the problems and given a reply. Had it been the firefox or opera, it would have been fixed in the next update.
Seems like one more reason to never bother with edge; I have several groups of tabs for different purposes and other things in the background to develop with; why would there be an additional stumbling block to quickly bypass blocks of tabs?
That's your opinion. People have been using Ctrl + Tab + Ctrl + # to browse tabs for over a decade. Tabs are not windows, if I wanted tabs to be windows I'd use Ctrl + N. Even after disabling the feature, Edge kept messing up my Alt-Tab from a Microsoft Word document. I Alt-Tab often from a PDF to a Word file but sometimes instead of alt-tabbing back to the PDF, it acts as if the current word file isn't even focused and goes to the third most recent window.
The only thing good about Edge is their PDF capabilities even before chromium. Even though Edge uses chromium I can't use my own chromium theme because Edge can't handle an ntp image. Show me search and site suggestions using my typed characters does not even work for me. I downloaded Foxit PDF Reader so now I probably won't ever use Edge.
When playing game, I noticed that sometimes when I alt+tab there's a program that quickly closes almost as soon as I actually see the window switching screen. I can't get a good look at it, but I'm pretty sure it has no logo nor any name. It also doesn't have any sort of "body" (the window is just thin and transparent). I haven't really installed anything since I started having this problem. The only things I have were Vortex (a mod manager from nexusmods) and the Bethesda launcher, both of which, I think, had proper digital signatures and Kaspersky didn't pick anything up when installing. I also downloaded a .jpg or .png, but I don't think those contain malware (I can see file extensions/whether a file is an .exe, so I would've been able to tell if it was a program). Lastly, I did around 2-3 scans with Kaspersky SC Free since this started and it found some files it couldn't process in WinSxS (both are in a microsoft edge first time installer, which has a digital signature), but nothing malicious. I've been checking Glasswire (an internet connection monitoring software) from time to time. I don't see any suspicious programs connecting to the internet at the same times the window appears and closes, nor any seriously suspicious programs. I did notice my internet degrading at times for no real reason, but that could easily just be my bad inernet. My only idea was that it could be Wallpaper Engine, since I remember Steam asking whether I wanted to use local data or cloud data randomly, I chose local data. I don't remember if I did this before or after, but it was at around the same time the problem started occurring. I have no idea if WE is actually the culprit or not though. No one's tried to log into any accounts or anything either. Is it malware or something else? Is there any way to find out? I also did a scan with a second opinion scanner and it only got some tracking cookies, nothing malicious.
I think that might be the case, since I haven't really installed anything that'd be malicious (the only thing I can think of is the Bethesda launcher, but I'm 60% sure it was the official one), plus, two good antivirus engines didn't pick anything malicious up. I'm going to try disabling the "legal" program that I think is the main perpetrator for a day or so and see if that changes anything.
Hello again, sorry that it took so long to get back to you. I had the application I suspected closed for the last two days or so and I've stopped noticing the window. I did notice an invisible, unnamed window open and close as soon as I went into the task witcher, but I also closed a program immediately before that and it was much slower than the one I kept seeing, so it could've been just task switcher bugging out. I've done several more scans with Kaspersky and it hasn't picked anything up. Glasswire doesn't pick up any suspicious connections either.
