Not sure if this is an STO problem or a Windows problem, so thought I'd ask here. Normally I multitask like mad, alt-tabbing while in sector space and changing zones and such. Since the launch of S8 though, when I hit alt-tab to cycle to my other windows, STO is no longer minimizing or letting me maximize other windows over it. I can still use the minimize button in the top corner, but that only works when the game is specifically active (so useless during cutscenes and load screens). So are other people having this, or should I be looking at Windows instead?
Play in windowed mode. There alttab is working but they removed mouse cursor during cutscenes and teleport/warp and I don't like it. Without cursor they force to use alttab.
I've been experiencing kinda the reverse, trying to go from full screen to minimised using the widget at the top right no longer works, but alt-tab does. Meh, could be worse I suppose...

This is small stuff, especially once you get used to it. I'm sure they did it this way to fix something else so I'll live with this.
