Hello, I use windows sandbox daily for some important stuff, but I need to use alt + tab to quickly switch between windows sandbox and non-virtual windows, when I do press alt + tab though, It just uses the alt tab function in apps inside of windows sandbox, and I don't want t do that, instead what I want to do is when I press alt + tab, it switches between windows sandbox and other apps I have open in normal windows, how do I do that?

This is not correct. That's true in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11, from my experience with both. If you are not in full screen Windows Sandbox in Windows 11 Alt+Tab remains focused within the Sandbox. In Windows 10, Alt+Tab lets you move outside the Sandbox.
Hi AliveJelly,
I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
Alt + Tab works outside the Sandbox when it is not on fullscreen. You can press the Shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Pause/break to exit the fullscreen mode and press Alt + Tab to change windows.
What I want to do is to make a keybind to switch from the sandbox to the host
So I tried alt + tab with and without fullscreen mode, it's always doing the alt + tab inside the windows sandbox window
I tried looking everywhere and i cant find any solution to this
It seems that I can't upload a screenshot here but pls I need a solution
