Jump between open windows on multiple monitors in Task View on Windows 10 with keyboard
I'm using two monitors with Windows 10 and I have a few windows open on each monitor. When I open the Task View (Win
+ Tab
) I can only navigate between the main monitor's windows with keyboard (using arrow keys or the Tab
key). I see the other display's windows on that display but can't figure out how to cycle through those windows with my keyboard.
Is there a way I can give focus to secondary monitor's windows in the Task View using keyboard?
To put it another way, how do I select the first item on the right monitor in the following screenshot using keyboard?

Solution 1:
It's a multi-step process.
- WIN+TAB to open task view.
- Press SHIFT+TAB to move focus up to the Desktop selector (it reads "+ New desktop").
- Press SHIFT+Tab again to switch focus to the next display.
- Use TAB and the arrow keys to select the app you want.
You can accomplish the same thing with tab and the arrow keys alone, but SHIFT+TAB is the quick way to get focus on the next display.
