Windows 10: Fullscreen apps minimize automatically.

All games and applications with Fullscreen mode minimize automatically and frequently during use. I have tried numerous fixes from turning game mode off to changing registry settings. My graphics drivers and windows version are up to date. Apps are required to be ran in either windows mode, or borderless mode.

Fullscreen apps minimize automatically.

I have windows 11 22H2 KB5029351. It seems since a recent update, all my Fullscreen games are being automatically minimized at least every 10 seconds. I have tried a myriad of fixes, all to no avail. From updating graphics drivers, to changing windows settings. Any help is appreciated.

 

Automatically moving a fullscreen window onto a new desktop

Hi Joel,

In Windows 10, there is an option to open an app in a fullscreen view. This way, it will be possible for you to make the fullscreen window move to a new desktop. Follow these steps to do so.

• Right click on the application.
• Select Properties.
• Click on the Shortcut tab.
• Beside the Run option, click on the drop-down menu and then choose Maximized.
  
• Click on Apply button and then click OK.

How to automatically dim secondary monitor, when app is fullscreen?

i have fullscreen movies playing at the same time all the time - but his point was that in order to change the mouse focus, you pretty much have to minimise both, then bring up the app second monitor, do what you wanted to do-then bring up the app on the main monitor.

multi-monitor doesnt play nice, since there is no way to get the focus off the fullscreen app on the primary monitor, WITHOUT minimising it

(media remote works well for the movies, however)
