Brains are funny sometimes, like you can stare at a website and just completely not notice some part of the UI - like a link you're looking for, even though it's right there

@JenMsft@mastodon.social I've got this problem constantly with the modern Windows Alt+Tab switcher. Very often I simply don't see one of the (usually) browser windows that I know are there, simply because it looks slightly different than what my brain expects.
I was using the classic Alt+Tab switcher where I didn't have these problems (since it just had icons that always stayed the same, and were much larger), but it got removed in 24H2 for some reason.

@jernej__s@infosec.exchange Have you tried using the window walker in PowerToys run?

@JenMsft@mastodon.social No, but they don't look like they'd help (I use my mouse to trigger the Alt+Tab dialog box).

I did try a few alternative window switchers, but they all seem to be made to emulate MacOS behaviour (Alt+Tab switches between processes, and a different hotkey is needed to switch between windows in the same process).
