The correct answer is

switch

In Windows, keyboard shortcuts help users perform tasks quickly without relying on the mouse.

The Alt + Tab shortcut opens a task switcher that displays thumbnails of all currently running applications and windows.

By holding Alt and repeatedly pressing Tab, the user can move the selection across open programs and release the keys to bring the chosen window to the front, thereby switching between running programs.

Hence, the Alt + Tab combination is the fastest way to switch between the running programs.
