Just one piece of information you left out - what game are you playing? That makes a difference, because some work in windowed mode and some don't.

well i m asking if there is anyway which can forcefully run a game in windowed mode... or if there is anyway which can solve this alt+tab error...

right-click the shortcut and click properties. then on the window mode drop down list, where the default is Normal, change it to Maximized. worked 4 me

tried... didnt work for me

try adding a parameter to the shortcut. right-click the shortcut, go to properties. click the shortcut tab. then go down to Target. go to the end of the last quotation mark, and add " -window". if that doesn't work, try " -windowed" or " -w". make sure there is a space in between the file name and the parameter

Try pressing alt + enter.
