    Hey guys.
    So I just went on a trade server and realized my alt + tab doesn't work. This makes trading very difficult. Basically, nothing happens when I alt + tab. At all. I tried snooping around a bit for answers but couldn't find any. Has this happened to any of you? Do you have any tips on fixing it? I run TF2 in windowed mode it it's got any significance.
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe one of your buttons is broken.

    Does this only occur in tf2 or in other programs aswell?

    The button works perfectly fine. And the problem seems to be in all steam games. :/

    I've had this problem too, I play in windowed mode, I just minimize the game and it's perfectly fine.

    Thanks for the help guys.
    It works now, I guess after restarting steam (and the computer) something magical happened. The main issue was that I actually couldn't access the trade through the desktop since it was in TF2 itself.
    Thanks again, and requesting closure.
