Edge on ALT-TAB to show its windows not tabs [closed]

On Windows -- ALT-TAB allows switching between the currently-open windows, also allows closing them if you wanted to.

Edge browser, however, shows all its recent tabs i used as separate windows on this feature. so, if i have say 10 Edge tabs open on one Edge window and i used 4 of them this AM, i see all that 4 (non-sleeping tabs?) as separate windows when i do ALT-TAB, and not just as 1 window like the other browsers do. how to set Edge so that it shows by its windows, not each of its tabs on ALT-TAB?

can't see anything on its Settings

letting me put tabs to sleep in 5mins instead of the default 1hr -- "Put inactive tabs to sleep after the specified amount of time" but that's not enough

i use this ALT-TAB v.often and all those tabs there is really cluttering up the view

TIA

searched on internet, on Stackoverflow and on Edge's own menus

(EDIT: These changes have to be made to your Windows OS, not in the settings of your Edge browser!)

enter image description here

If you don't want ALT+TAB to show the browser tabs (but show them as one process), you can go to (System) Settings > System > Multitasking > Alt + Tab, and select Open windows only.
