I have fs2020 in full screen.
When i push the windows key or i try to go to the desktop im not able.
There is any way to minimize fs2020 and go to desktop?

Hi there, try ALT and TAB

When in MSFS You can alt+enter to go into window mode, and then minimize MSFS, open whatever you want then reopen MSFS and alt+enter to go back to full screen. Then you can alt+tab directly to the other app you have opening back as much as you want.

You have to click into them (for instance click inside the browser window, not it’s title bar) while you’re holding alt-tab from MSFS.

You shouldn’t have to click anything so long as you use the highlight box while ALT+TABing. Hold ALT and keep tapping TAB till correct window highlighted… release ALT window should come to the front regardless of weather MSFS2020 is full screen or windowed.

Thats how i get to my desktop with the windows key. Sometimes it does take a few presses and sometimes it can take a while for it to come up. As 1 of the others has said try alt and tab

Winkey+D is a shortcut to force the Show Desktop command.

Noticed that when switching to VR and back again to monitor (CTRL+TAB), it is no longer possible to ALT-TAB out of MSFS.

I understand why it should not be possible to ALT+TAB in VR, but suspect when going back to monitor the shortcut remains restricted.
