 Windows Key + Tab – This opens the new Task View interface, and it stays open — you     can release the keys. Only windows from your current virtual desktop will appear in the         Task View list, and you can use the virtual desktop switcher at the bottom of the screen to     switch between virtual desktops.

  Alt + Tab – This isn’t a new keyboard shortcut, and it works just like you’d expect it to.           Pressing Alt+Tab lets you switch between your open Windows. Tap Tab again to flip               between windows and release the keys to select a window. Alt+Tab now uses the new           Task View-style larger thumbnails. Unlike Windows Key + Tab, Alt + Tab lets you switch         between open windows on all virtual desktops.
