Weird alt-tab out of fullscreen games.

Hi Simon,

The multitasking capability of a game depends on the total memory of your computer. If you have large amounts of RAM on your computer, it can multitask heavy programs easily like high-end games. To ensure that we can provide the appropriate resolution
for your concerns with the alt-tab function, we’d like to ask you a few questions:

• What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
• When did the issue start?

• Have you pressed the alt-tab key during you play Rainbow Six Siege? Or it just happen without pressing it?
  
• Does the automatic ALT-TAB behavior happens on other games?
• Do you have any other programs running on your computer while playing?
• What is the anti-virus program you're using?

• What is your device or system specifications? To know, follow these steps:
  1. Press Windows + S and type
     About your PC.
  2. Send us the information listed under Device specifications.
  
  

Moving forward, if you're multitasking while playing, we recommend that you play this game only without doing other tasks. Pressing ALT-TAB or performing a multitasking interferes with the performance of your video card, especially if you're running a heavy
game like Rainbow Six Siege. It will generate screen viewing issues like intermittently switching your game screen between your desktop environment.

For now, restart your game and do not press ALT+TAB while playing. This will allow your video card to dedicate its graphics performance on the game only instead of your desktop environment.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

 

cant alt-tab into or out of games, permentantly stuck

I have this recent annoying bug where if I alt tab out of a game or its minimized for any reason and I try to reopen it it will stay stuck on a black screen, I can open the task manager with ctrl-alt-delete but it will still be in the background behind the black screen along with everything else, there is absolutely no way out of it except by restarting windows. this happened on 3 separate games so is not game specific.

 

ALT + TAB turned Gaming Screen into Windowed Screen


Hello,

I wanted to look other softwares and web pages when playing a game. So I clicked ALT + TAB.

Then Gaming Screen turned into Windowed Screen and I can't revert it.

How to do that?
