Windows.Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.Tab)

//After this it failing from below step as null pointer
Windows. Switchtowindow(tab5)

Hi,

I found this similar discussion: Switching between Tabs in Chrome issue - #6 by costea.georgian89 and please try their suggestion.

Sorry @Elly_Tran. The OP is inquiring about Windows Desktop testing. There are desktop applications that arrange similar options together in a container that have tabs that are either across the top of the panel or down the side. The image below is an example (from a school project) with tabs across the top.

However, the link you gave is for Web testing with browser tabs.

Edit: Maybe you can enquire with your “Windows Desktop” team and see if they have any suggestions?
