Microsoft PowerToys adds Alt+Tab-style switching for an app's windows

Microsoft released an update to Windows PowerToys that introduces a new utility called Window Hopper, enabling users to switch between windows within the same application using Alt+Tab-style keyboard navigation. The feature streamlines window management for users working with multiple instances of a single application.

Why it matters: Security practitioners managing Windows environments should monitor PowerToys updates for any new attack surface or security implications in user productivity tools, though this particular feature focuses on usability rather than security controls.
