ALT TAB not functioning normaly

When i have multiple! drawings open in MAP 3D, ALT TAB does't work normal anymore.
When i want to switch between autocad and Excel, I can switch from excel to Autocad with one ALT TAB. When switching back from Autocad to excel one ALT TAB keeps my in Autocad and it requires ALT 2x TAB to switch back to excel. How do i fix that?

No, but mostly i do have more drawings open.

With only one drawing open the function ALT TAB works fine.

It helps for my too!

The Autodesk icon in the taskbar shows now only 1 drawingpicture in stead of my 2 open drawings when hovering over it, but that' s no problem for me.

It is a bug that Autodesk needs to fix.

Yes, I know that it shows only one tab..  So You may find it convenient to walk through the CAD drawings with "CTRL+TAB"  🙂

Just chiming in... this worked for me. TASKBAR variable was "1". Switched it to "0".  Not sure how it ever got messed up in the first place. Been driving me just crazy enough not to go look for a solution amidst everything else.
