Tabing out to DeskTop

Not sure if I'm asking this right, so here goes.

Why can't I go directly to my DeskTop from Game, with LWin+D?

I always have to Alt+Tab to get to something open on DeskTop, before I can LWin+D to the DeskTop.

I hope that makes sense and someone can explain it.

Thanks

It is certainly a pain, I have to remember to keep something open like an explorer window so I have something to alt-tab to, and then do what I want. It's been an issue since day 0.

My guess would be that the game intercepts the keyboard interrupts. Where as DCS leaves alt-tab alone because it has been used historically to switch apps.

Back in the day, INT13 was what was raised for keyboard, but I have no idea if Windows depends on that anymore.

Yeah leave a few things open in the background. I have an Alienware so I open DCS through it and also tracker Ir as well as msi afterburner to control my gpu fans because Alienware doesn’t give us that option for the gpu fan speed. BAlso, I have noticed that discord and srs are typically running and open in the background too.

Hope this helps.
