The quickest way to alt-tab out of CS:GO is to play in Fullscreen Windowed mode instead of Fullscreen. This way, your game doesn't have to minimize entirely, making the alt-tab process almost instant.

Hot take: just use two monitors, my dude. Game on one, whatever else you need on the other. Zero wait time.

I had the same issue! What worked for me was updating my graphics card drivers and optimizing my game settings. Also, disabling the Steam overlay helped a bit. Makes alt-tabbing smoother and faster.

Try changing your game's video settings to 'Borderless Window.' It feels like fullscreen, but lets you alt-tab super fast because the game stays 'active' in the background.
