I'm having a strange issue where I can't alt-tab from Chrome to other applications like games or even to incognito mode. The only way it works is if I alt-tab to something like Windows Explorer or Discord first, and then I can switch to the game or back to incognito from there. I can go from incognito back to standard Chrome without any problems. I recorded a video of this issue where you can see a blue circular highlight appearing around the three dots in the top right corner. I've tried reinstalling Chrome and even used a different keyboard, but nothing seems to fix it.

Have you thought about reaching out to Google directly about this? They might have some insights or fixes you haven’t tried yet. Just a thought!
I’ve seen this issue before! Try pressing Esc repeatedly (maybe 10 to 15 times) while Chrome is open. Sometimes it can get stuck in a weird focus mode or hidden menu, and doing this can force it back to normal. Give alt-tabbing another shot after that and see if it helps!
I haven't done that yet. Do you think they actually respond?
