How to Quickly and Safely Alt+Tab Out of a Game The game running in full-screen exclusive mode doesn’t redirect its output through the desktop’s display manager, so the desktop display manager can’t display a preview.
You won’t see a preview of the game’s display area like you would for other windows. If you Alt+Tab out of it, you can hover over the game’s taskbar icon or press Alt+Tab again. You can see this in action when you have a game running in full-screen, exclusive mode.
