Default Impossible to switch between the windows/books

Have re-installed the Office and suddenly found that I can not switch between
the files in the tray, or by Alt-Tab if they were open in one Excel window.
Only if I launched each file by starting separate Excel application first,
then kleft-click or Alt-tab works

Only old Win way of switching between the files via WINDOW menu works

What could it be? I failed to find any setting that could switch this

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi Anders5554,

Possibly ToolsOptionsViewShowWindows in Taskbar?

Regards.

Ed

No, checkbox is checked, but I can switch either between different instances
of Excel or by CTRL-F6. ALT-tab and left click on taskbar buttons doesnt help

Any ideas?

Hello again,

Any ideas?


Not many :-(

One possibility might be that the "Windows in taskbar setting" is sort of
damaged. Try unticking it, closing and re-opening Excel, and ticking it again
to try and force a "refresh".

When you get certain problems in Word you can sometimes resolve them by
deleting or renaming a Data key in the registry but I don't know if Excel has
anything similar.

The only other thing I can find is this thread which suggests that setting
up a new user in Windows might be a possible workaround:
