One trick to alt-tab out of CS:GO super quick is to play in Windowed Fullscreen mode instead of Fullscreen. Sure, you might lose a couple of FPS, but the speed boost in switching windows is worth it, especially if you're multitasking or need to check something on the fly!

I found that disabling the Steam Overlay can make alt-tabbing out of games like CS:GO a bit quicker. To do this, right-click on CS:GO in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' and uncheck 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.' Might not be a game-changer, but every little bit helps!

Honestly, just press Alt+Tab lol. Works every time.

Upgrade your PC! I noticed a huge difference in how fast I could alt-tab from CS:GO to desktop after I upgraded my RAM and SSD. Faster hardware = smoother multitasking.
