Windows 10: Full Screen Apps Minimizing

I have a two monitor set up. When I'm watching videos full screen on the Netflix app and Movies and Video player and I click on something on my other screen, apps automatically minimize my video and pause it. Is there some setting in windows where I can turn this off?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this

Involuntary screen minimization

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer ?
  

I suggest you to check in safe mode and clean boot.

Method 1:

Boot the computer in Safe Mode and place the computer in Clean Boot and check if the issue persists.

Step 1:

Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs don't run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

I would suggest you to try the steps in the below Microsoft help article on
How to Boot into Safe mode.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...ther-startup-settings-in-windows-10#v1h=tab01

Step 2:

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.

I would suggest you to refer the below Microsoft help article on How to Perform Clean boot.

The steps for Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10 also.

Disclaimer:

To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the link below

Method 2:

Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter to troubleshoot the device:

a. Press Windows key to launch the Start screen.

b. Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes and click on Troubleshooting.

c. In the new window, click View all on the left pane.

d. In the list of options, click on Hardware and devices.

e. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Keep us posted for further assistance, we will be glad to help.

 

Screen minimizing on its own

Hi Debra,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



To have a better clarity on the issue and guide you accordingly, respond to the questions listed below.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Do all programs minimize on their own?
   

Meanwhile disable ‘Tablet Mode’ if enabled and check.



Tablet Mode works like a bridge between PC and touch-enabled devices such as tablets. When it is enabled, all modern apps open in full screen mode and sometimes the main program window is automatically minimized when a sub-window is opened.



Disable Tablet Mode:

1. Click on ‘Action Center’ icon at the lower right corner of the taskbar.
   
2. Locate ‘Tablet Mode’ tile and disable it if enabled already.
   

Regards,
