Avoid Alt+TAB in remote session

Published 2 years ago

Hi all, i'm a windows user
after some updates (now running 2023.3.36.0 64-bit) if I hit ALT+TAB in a remote session, I get my desktop apps cycling instead those in remote session

my expected behaviour is that if I hit ALT+TAB in remote session, I will cycle between the remote apps (or windows)

there's some default setting changed recently? how can I set the program to just perform ALT+TAB in the remote session?

thank you

Hi,

Could you please try installing the latest update, version 2024.1.12.0, and check if it resolves the issue?

Let me know,

Best regards,

Hi Yan and thank you
weird enough while updating in the app, I had still the 2023 version running

I had to download manually the package and install with admin privileges, and so I got the 2024 version

sadly the behaviour is still there, if I hit in a remote session alt+tab, I came back into my desktop insted of cycling through the open apps in the remote session

are you sure there isn't a setting to enable/disable in the program?

thank you

Also if I hit windowskey+E it opens an explorer window in my pc, not in the remote session

Please take a look at the following thread: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/24470/alt-tab-in-remote-session
All variants and where you find these settings are listed ;-)

Hi Toby
and thank you for pointing me to that thread
the setting I was looking for, is the last mentioned:

settings -> types -> sessions -> RDP- > keyboard hook -> change value to "in the remote computer"

thank you again!
