Alt + Tab not working well with PCSX2 1.2.1 ?

[AcidRains]

Playing in windowed mode, i just found out whenever i using alt + tab to switch between browser or anything and pcsx2, the windows always lost focus, hotkey like tab, f4, f1 and etc not working,
There's a little trick to get it working by press again alt + tab, you hear a ding like sound in background and still remains in pcsx2 window, and all hotkey working again. Another thing is if i don't use alt+tab but choose it with mouse via task bar, there's no problem.

coz i get used to using alt+tab all the time so it's a little bit not thet convenient--
So anyone can get it a test or if i've done anything wrong ??

yes, excatly. it's kinda like lost focus, although the screen will switch back to pcsx2.
i tried latest git version once , but stop using it because of program starts slow compares to official release 1.2.1 version.

sorry, but didn't have this problem for me though and, it's better using 1.2.1 since, it's the latest stable release.

Yeah this is an annoying issue and happens with -every- version. I've tried this as early as r1888 up to the latest GIT versions, and it happens with all of them.

When it occurs you can fix it by simply pausing and resuming the emu, but it's a bit annoying.

Avoiding it entirely is done by using the mouse to switch like you mentioned.

Alt + Tab not working error can be solved by changing the AltTabSettings registry values. To do that, tap the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run application. The time when the window opens, write in Regedit and press OK. It will help you in fixing windows 10 can't alt-tab to desktop easily. Users can navigate the Registry Editor by pressing the arrow symbol next to the folder name to extract it. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER → Software → Microsoft → Windows → CurrentVersion → Explorer. Then look for a value called AltTabSettings. If it is not there, right-click on an empty space and choose the option of New → DWORD (32-bit) Value, then name it AltTabSettings. In the end, double-click on AltTabSettings and change its value data to 1, before tapping OK and exit from the Registry Editor before you see if the Alt-Tab shortcut works properly. In case not, start your PC again and check the error.
