				| 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.

				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
