    Games minimize at start in full-screen - How to fix it?


    Hello,

    I have a problem when I want to play games in full-screen. Every time when I try it, the game automatically minimize at the start. When I try to open it, it kicks me out like pressing (alt + tab). It feels like when I open it, the game loses the focus. I have no problems with borderless window. I am using a GTX 1080 and Windows 10. Do you know what I can do? I searched on the internet, but don't there wasn't a solution that works.



    Here is an example (GTA 5, but it's on every game with full-screen):

    Why are my games minimizing when there is no mouse activity or minimizing randomly?

    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.
