why can't i alt + tab in team fortress 2?

hey there everyone, so whenever i play team fortress 2 and i try to alt + tab to a different window, it'll switch out of the tf2 window but i can rarely ever go back into it without having to wait for a minute. Is there any known fix to this or is it just a problem for everyone?

I know how you feel. but do this & you wont have anymore problems. In Steam, right-click Team Fortress 2 in 'My Games', click Properties and then 'Set launch options... Add the following: -sw -nobordertakeiteazy3

Valve games are not alt-tab friendly, unfortunately :(

Puts the game in window mode, but removes the boder so it looks exactly like fullscreen but you can alt-tab easily.
