Is there any reliable way to fix the Alt-tab bug on Windows 10? I know CncNet did it somehow but don't know how. So far I've tried this:
1) 16-color windowed. It's ok, but a window is not perfect and it cause in-battle crashes too often for me.
2) Some tool called DXGL, which apparently makes the game render using the newer OpenGL than DX 7. This produced multiple results, however either the image was off the screen, or the buttons werevisually in place, but in reality as if the game was 1080p and in the top-left corner.
In addition, the latter one was not as good in Alt-tabbing and CncNet?
So is there anything that actually works? _________________

Why do you press alt tab in the first place?
Do you constantly try to give units a force move (alt) command?
Otherwise i don't see why you should ever press alt
tab also has no assigned command in C&C IIRC, so i guess you only press it accidentally, while you try to press 1 or q.
You could also reconfigure the keyboard shortcuts in C&C so there is no key command right next to TAB, reducing the chance to hit it by accident. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
To go to another window, Paint Perhaps, So he can make a screenshot, I had this problem before and I solved it by ditching Win8 or Win10. _________________

Alt+Tab is the Windows hotkey to the window switcher, but I use it primarily to get out of fullscreen apps like Red Alert 2. I just need to go do something else for a moment. Addidtionaly, this would fix stuff liek what happened last time I was replaying the campaign. I was slowly taking over the map when someone called me on Skype and it clicked through the game to answer the call causing the game to minimize, making the screen black and screwing up the run. _________________

I know what alt+tab does, but if you press it on purpose and know that it causes trouble when playing a 15 year old game, then it's quite your own fault don't you think?
It's the classic "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." Doctor: "Then don't do that."
How about disabling Skype before you start playing?
These games are super old where it's quite a miracle that they run on a modern OS at all and then doing a task switch on such a system is like asking for the game to crash.

The game has a keyboard shortcut to create screenshots. No need for task switching. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Sorry LKO, but the game was originally created to deal with it and, if there are people who has dealt with it before (CnCNet), it could be possible to fix it for Win10 users. QUICK_EDIT

@LKO
1) I don't! But I want to fix it so that I can!
2) What for? And if I'm chatting or talking while playing? It doesn't prevent people from calling me.
3) It was provent It's doable.
4) Who's talking about screenshots? I didn't say a word about them. It's temp who thought I was making them. _________________

It worked... until my game foze. Not the game, but the image to be presice.
P. S. Made the game run in Borderless Windowed, testing...
EDIT: The game runs well, ALt-tab is perfect, but in the main menu the game is not stretched and is just in the center of the screen, + menu loading is super long. Also, after exiting is gave me a DDRAW error code 00000004. _________________
