    Windows Update interrupting Games on Windows 10 computer.

    Deepika, I have this problem as well and it's exactly like ChemicalGrenade states. Windows 10 has a notification setting for scheduling updates when you have it set to notify to schedule a restart but it's absolutely unnecessary that it take over the whole
    screen and minimize whatever you're doing that's fullscreen at the time of the notification popping up. WINDOWS needs to fix their system to allow the notification to show without completely interrupting the users current activity. Especially when it minimizes
    a multiplayer game, ranked pvp game, etc. It's not an issue with 3rd party programs but also simply stating "be sure to download/install updates prior to playing your game" is an unacceptable answer as there are literally downloads every other day to update
    something... Just need Microsoft to fix the notification behavior. By the way, setting it to "automatic" is not good either because it will shut down your pc regardless if you are in the middle of something, when it's finished installing/downloading which
    is also highly annoying and totally unnecessary.

    Windows 10 randomly minimizing games or making a notification sound.

    I have had this same problem with both windows 7 and windows 10 on the same machine. my current theory is it has to do with a toolbar notification popping up to minimize it the first time, and then the notification disappearing minimizes the game the second
    time. in windows 10 this is accompanied by the notification sound some times. I am only having this problem on one of three computers, but suspect it has to do with the razer synapse application frequently sending notifications of updates.
