  1. Games tabbing out


    During random time intervals while i'm playing games Rainbow 6 Siege and NBA 2k my game just tabs out/minimizes. I've tried countless "solutions" from the internet to no avail. The only thing i've consistently noticed is it happens more often on the hour and I get this security data from event viewer every single time. I have no other apps running when I play games and I dont see anything else open up when I get tabbed out. All my drivers are up to date. I've scanned for malware. I've restored my microsoft files. Ive deleted and redownloaded my games. Even when I set my games to high priorit
