While it's been a while since my last post, yesterday's public release of Windows X seemed like the perfect reason to start up again.
I currently have a small task manager switcher that I use with Rainmeter to swap between different programs (my taskbar is hidden). However, in Windows 10 there is a new way to switch between programs, called "Task View." This is an updated feature from the Flow View (Win⊞+Tab) and traditional Alt+Tabbing.
Anyways, I was wondering if somebody had found out a shortcut to this so that it can be accessed within Rainmeter? I'm guessing that it'll be something that we have to go through a system file for (like opening the network flyout "LeftMouseUpAction=[rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\van.dll,RunVAN]"), I'm just not sure which one.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: Windows X (10) Task View question
You can use AutoHotKey to send Win+Tab to Windows and execute it with a Rainmeter bang.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Windows X (10) Task View question
For anyone still looking for this, it's Ctrl + Win + Left/Right Arrow

Re: Windows X (10) Task View question
I created an account to answer to an 8 years old fourm post lmao.
Ok i found an answer that it's not using auto hot key and it's this
" MiddleMouseUpAction=["shell:::{3080F90E-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}"] "
Took me a bit of research, hope it helps someone in this day an age.
