Or, as one user puts it on the official Microsoft Edge forum:

Luckily, there’s also a little trick that you can use to customize the Alt+Tab hotkey behavior after this update.

My problem is Edge appear so many tabs when I press Alt+Tab.

How can I see only a few tabs when using the Alt+Tab shortcut?

  • Open the Windows settings.

  • Choose System.

  • In the left pane, go to Multitasking.

  • Look for the option that says Pressing Alt+Tab shows… and open the drop-down menu.

  • Here, choose from one of the options:

  • Open windows and all tabs in Edge

  • Open windows and 5 most recent tabs in Edge

  • Open windows and 3 most recent tabs in Edge

  • Open windows only.

And this should do the trick and limit the number of tabs you see when using the Alt+Tab shortcut.
