    Game minimizes on start


    I tried many things i found, nothing worked yet, game-mode, game bar, desktoptimeout, graphix driver a.o. do not fix the issue. Some games only Touhou 14.3 so far minimize and softlock me, i cant close the game, cant move other windows or close them, cant access taskmanager, only solution was to restart windows.Other games that have tha issue:Touhou 11Touhou 12Touhou 12.8Touhou 14Touhou 18.5 Touhou 18 works fine...?Touhou 19Blazblue: Calamity triggerNot yet checked but are probably also affected:Touhou 9Touhou 9.5all games have could be played on Win11 previously without most issues Windo

    Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

    I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

    Some issues with minimizing and maximizing games

    Im trying the focus assist option right now, i will get back with the results.

    Alright, so turning focus assist off seems to have reduced the time it takes for my games to minimize and maximize, but i still get the annoying messagebox in the top left corner of the screen. I would also like if all my games would minimize and maximize instantly, but its a step in the right direction.

    Also, my games are running in exclusive fullscreen mode.
