Lightroom Classic 12.3 (and all previous versions of LrC while running Windows 11, as far as I can remember)
Windows 11 (can't remember if it did this in Windows 10)

Let's suppose I have only two applications open, Microsoft Word and my web browser. In windows, when I press Alt-Tab, I switch from one application to the other. If have three applications open, such as Word, Web Browser and E-mail program, Alt-Tab lets me move to the 2nd app and Alt-Tab twice lets me move to the 3rd app. All as expected.

But if one of those applications open is Lightroom Classic, then Alt-Tab once keeps me in Lightroom Classic. Not expected. I have to Alt-Tab twice to move to the next application that is open. Not expected, and annoying.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix this so Alt-Tab when I am in Lightroom Classic works as with any other application? Is this a bug?

I also have this similar problem with Adobe Lightroom Classic when I use Alt+Tab.

Here is another problem with Lightroom Classic on Windows 11. Empty/Blank background process, but not shown on Task manager.

My experience is this- If I hold down the [ALT] key, I can [TAB] through all of the open app windows releasing keys when desired screen is highlighted. Which does not seem an annoyance to me.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.0, Photoshop 27.0, ACR 18.0, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0 .

Holding down the Alt key does not make the problem go away on my machine.

I will stick with my opinion that this is annoying. I have used Alt-Tab in Windows for decades, its a habit that I use many times every day in every software, LrC is the only one that displays this issue.
