When I set a breakpoint (BP) on some code and it hits the BP the game freezes, which is right, but then I can't get back to CE; Alt Tab doesn't work. I used to use DxWnd to run games in a window but that doesn't work on my system now. I end up having to Ctrl Alt Del and then Sign Out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

perhaps the game has video config settings that allow you to play it in windowed mode

On windows 10 you can create a virtual desktop:

1) Create a virtual desktop by pressing "CTRL + WIN + D".
You will have created a second virtual desktop.

2) You can use the "CTRL + WIN + LEFT" combination to switch to the first desktop or "CTRL + WIN + RIGHT" to switch to the desktop on which you moved the Cheat Engine.

To move a window from one desktop to another just press "WIN + TAB" and drag and drop the window you want to transport

Thanks bro. Having multiple desktops is really good to know. I don't get locked out of games when using breakpoints now. Everyone should know this. I expect many people have had the same issue. Cheers dude Cool
