    Can't use Alt+Tab or Win+Tab when the games frozen during loading or something else.


    Windows is forcing me to look at the frozen loading screen. Any way to fix this?Even when I'm using Win+Tab on another app, Windows zooms in this app for a second and goes back to the frozen game. This thing is very annoying, especially when I'm getting messages from my friends and I just can't answer them cause of this.

    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.

    alt tabbing increases system performance?

    Skyrim doesnt work correctly you alt tab, but if you alt tab to it again while the screen is black, it loads up with the windows cursor over the top. If i repeatedly do this, eventually it fullscreens properly without issues. Slightly weird.
