    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 out and Alt tab in issue

    Hi,

    Yes I normally keep my graphics cards up to date. I even used the ones my manufacturer gave me and still the same issue.

    The BSOD error message is the following: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE ntoskrnl.exe. Has something to do with the nvidia cards i guess.

    I have tried both a clean installment of windows 10 and of the graphics drivers and no luck. Ive tried turning off v-sync to see if that was the issue but again no luck.

    for games? probably not, some of the games I play are old and don't have that option.
