I want to get out of fullscreen and get back to the desktop but after pressing every button on my keyboard and googling for a solution for 10 minutes I still can't get out of the game and back to the desktop without quitting the game. I have a windows 8. < > Showing 1-15 of 17 comments Kargor View Profile View Posts 18 May, 2014 @ 3:20pm First of all, "a game" isn't a game that I've heard of yet. Must be a new game.Besides that, the standard way is to hold down the left Alt key, and press Tab. Games can block that, though, in which case you are probably out of luck.You can try the Windows key too.If everything fails, try Clt-Alt-Del and choose to run the Task Manager. With some luck, this will drop you back to the deskop. However, as the other options have already failed, this might also screw up the screen instead, as the game most likely isn't going to cooperate. #1 TheKneeGrow View Profile View Posts 18 May, 2014 @ 8:45pm You could try alt-tab see if that works #2 76561198337792013 View Profile View Posts 26 Oct, 2016 @ 3:57pm I found a game where alt + tab doesn't work its called america's army #3 ✪ Ｃｌｕｎｇｅｂｏｂ ✪ View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 1:39am if that doesnt work you can always shift=tab and then press win key at that point there is a tiny button on the very far left of the taskbar that you can press to take you back to the desktop #4 ✪ Ｃｌｕｎｇｅｂｏｂ ✪ View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 1:39am shift+tab #5 SmugDruggler View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 1:43am alt+enter switches between full and windowed on a few games try that. #6 MancSoulja View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 1:43am Alt + Enter to swap between Full screen and windowed. #7 MancSoulja View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 1:44am

That ninja :uWildCard: #8 ReBoot View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 1:49am If you're going to switch often, run the game in a borderless window I stead of fullscreen. #9 Rusty Shackelford View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 2:09am Try Esc then in the main menu press the Windows key #10 2607710788 View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 2:10am 滚滚滚 #11 TianZer View Profile View Posts 1 Sep, 2017 @ 4:23am Try Windows key，or the Alt+Tab. If all of them don't work，try using the Ctrl +Alt+Delete to open the Taskmgr, which could help you back to the desktop.If it is possible, try running your game with borderless windows instead of fullscreen.It is more convenient to switch between game and desktop without any quit.
