For some reason, the ALT+TAB key combination no longer functions on Windows via MRD. This worked only a week ago.
Oddly, CTRL+ALT+TAB does work to switch applications, but releasing the keys does not activate the window [nor does Enter or any other key].
Another oddity, some application will remain in focus [they are not maximized] even when another application is chosen from the taskbar.

I am traveling and trying to use my Mac to edit workbooks on our server. Everything works fantastically, except whenever I Alt-Tab it goes back and forth between the server and my Mac programs, instead of alt-tabbing between the open Excel documents and the VBE editor. This driving up my blood pressure to dangerous levels. Does anyone know any way [short of using a PC or a fancy mouse] to make the alt-tab restrict itself to the remote session? Note I am aware that I can choose FN Option F11 to open the VBE editors but I've been finding that way too difficult to execute. I would be willing to remap some keys to open the editor, but I don't know how to do that when using Remote Desktop.
Any advice appreciated. I would even appreciate search terms I might be missing to look for this. Whenever I search the terms seem to be too general and I get unrelated articles.
On my Mac, I use Microsoft's Remote Desktop app to connect to a Windows box. I can see in the preferences how to map the Command key to Alt, and the Option key to the Windows key, so that the Alt and Windows keys are in the same physical layout on my Mac RDP connection as they are on the actual Windows keyboard. That is, the Alt key [Command] is directly to the left of the space bar, and the Windows key [Option] is directly to the left of that.
But if I set it up that way, I can't use Alt-Tab on the Windows machine--the Mac intercepts it and treats it as a Command-Tab to switch away from the RDP app. I know some programs are able to prevent this--VirtualBox and VMWare, for instance, let you use Command-Tab as Alt-Tab inside a windows guest. [In fact, one solution to this I had was to use a Windows virtual machine on the mac, only to use that to RDP into another machine!]
Short of creating a windows virtual machine, is there any way I can get the Mac RDP app to send Command-Tab as Alt-Tab to the remote Windows machine?

Using Microsoft remote desktop on Mac OSX Big Sur.
When I am using my remote desktop app [both full-screen and not], alt-tab [or option-tab on my mac keyboard] does not work. I've used the on-screen keyboard. Holding down my alt/option button [on my mac keyboard] and pressing tab button on the on-screen keyboard works. But using alt/option + tab on my mac keyboard does not seem to register [the tab does not light up]. Yet using tab alone on my mac keyboard in remote desktop works fine. I've changed the "apply windows key combination" option to all options incl "On the remote computer" but it still does not work. Anyone have any suggestions?
