14 DAY TRIAL // I don’t know about you, but Alt + Tab has become an essential Windows feature for me, so when I ended up with blurry windows in Windows 11, the whole thing has become quite a pain in the neck.
It’s not like I wasn’t able to use it anymore, but my Alt + Tab screen looked awful, which makes little sense for an operating system that’s supposed to be as modern as it gets.
But of course, given Windows 11 is still in its early days and is only available in the Windows Insider program, this makes perfect sense, and it was pretty clear Microsoft was supposed to fix the whole thing rather sooner than later.
And as it turns out, this was one of the first things Microsoft addressed as part of the Windows Insider program, as the most recent preview build of Windows 11 finally resolves the blurry windows in Alt + Tab.
Alt + Tab now looking good
As you can see in the screenshot here, everything is looking exactly as you’d expect it to look, so if your thumbnails are blurry, just make sure you install Windows 11 preview build 22000.65. It’s available right now as part of the Windows Insider program in the Dev channel.
On the other hand, keep in mind Windows 11 is still a work in progress, so don’t be too surprised if you come across other bugs while using it.
According to Microsoft’s own schedule, the operating system is projected to get the go-ahead in the fall of the year, and the company has even dropped some hints the release could take place in October. Windows 11 will be offered as a free upgrade to certain eligible Windows 11 devices, with the upgrade to land in the last months of this year and then continue into 2022.
