In Windows 10 upon pressing the key with Windows logo on it and the Tab key together, I get an overview of all the open windows. I would like to access this functionality by one of the buttons on my mouse. How can I change this key combination to one of the buttons on my mouse?

  • Probably a third party package like Autohotkey to do all that you want, – John Jun 05 '22 at 13:00
  • The hotkey is Alt+Tab and it does much more than just display the overview. – harrymc Jun 05 '22 at 15:39
  • @harrymc, **both** Win+Tab and Alt+Tab are useful preview key combos, but they perform differently. The question asked about Win+Tab is correct as-is. – DrMoishe Pippik Jun 05 '22 at 20:31
  • @DrMoishePippik: Win+Tab doesn't work on my Windows 10. – harrymc Jun 05 '22 at 20:40
  • @harrymc, see https://superuser.com/questions/1330698/windows-10-disable-win-tab-task-view-shortcut . It might be specifically disabled on your PC. It does work on this 21H1 (build 19043.1736) machine. Admittedly, MS is not known for total consistency... ;-) – DrMoishe Pippik Jun 05 '22 at 20:44
  • @DrMoishePippik: Nope, don't have any of this. – harrymc Jun 06 '22 at 07:53

A utility such as X-Mouse Button Control, or an alternative tool, can translate a mouse button click into a a key-press combo, whether WindowsTab or AltTab. Perhaps AutoHotkey, can as well.
