    This might help -

    The hang on alt tab is caused by windows 8.1+ enhanced windows features. Right click and edit the advanced properties of all exe's in eq's folders and turn off a setting having to do with enhanced features in windows yada yada. Its right near where you can toggle compatibility mode and run as admin.

    This only ever happened when I was in full-screen swapping between copies of the client. Since I switched to windowed mode has never happened again.

    Can someone explain in more of a step-by-step tutorial on how to turn this off?

    Found it.

    in Everquest folder
    right click on eqgame.exe, LaunchPad.exe (and all .exe files to be thorough)
    click on Properties
    click on Compatibility at the top
    tick on Disable Fullscreen Optimizations

    It is working for me so far. No more freezes.
