  1. Games minimizing, help please!


    So...long story short, my games keeps minimizing by themselves. I'm playing for like 5-10-15 minutes and then my game get's minimized. I open the game, again, from the taskbar, keep playing and then it does it again. And so on...

    I can't play for the sake of my life.

    The problem started a few days ago, it may be with the last update, until that all was ok. I've searched on Google, did everything I could find, but it keeps doing.

    Even found a youtube video with the same problem:

    If you can, please, help me I'll be very grateful!

    Thanks!

  2. Windows 10 games minimizes periodically

    Hello,

    To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • Is the issue particular to a game or all games?
    • Do you get any error message?
    • Which build is installed in your computer?
    • Is the issue occurring with Windows Store games?

    I suggest you to update the Graphic card driver by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapters.
    • Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    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.
