Alt-tab in mac microsoft remote desktop

Question

Using Microsoft remote desktop on Mac OSX Big Sur.
When I am using my remote desktop app (both full-screen and not), alt-tab (or option-tab on my mac keyboard) does not work. I've used the on-screen keyboard. Holding down my alt/option button (on my mac keyboard) and pressing tab button on the on-screen keyboard works. But using alt/option + tab on my mac keyboard does not seem to register (the tab does not light up). Yet using tab alone on my mac keyboard in remote desktop works fine. I've changed the "apply windows key combination" option to all options incl "On the remote computer" but it still does not work. Anyone have any suggestions?
