Answer 1

I use this, you may need to change the Sleep delay.

`::
    Send {Alt Down}{Tab}
    Sleep 100
    Send {Alt Up}
    return

I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit and AutoHotkey v1.1.16.05. And my C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkeyU64.exe is digitally signed by running the script described here (EnableUIAccess.zip) so that Windows allows it to simulate Alt+Tab. The digital sign is required if you are using Windows Vista and onwards.

Download the zip file and extract it. Then run EnableUIAccess.ahk:

1. It will ask which AutoHotkey executable to sign. Pick one that you need (AutoHotkeyA32.exe, AutoHotkeyU32.exe, AutoHotkeyU64.exe or AutoHotkey.exe).
2. Then it will ask to save the new executable. You can choose to overwrite the original file or save as another executable.
3. Finally it will ask to create a "Run Script with UI Access" context menu item. If you choose 'Yes', then you can right-click a .ahk file and choose "Run Script with UI Access", which will use the digitally signed executable to run the .ahk file. But if you choose to overwrite the original file in step 2, then it is not necessary to create this context menu item.
