    So my native resolution is 1920x1080 an in most of my games i prefer to play 1280x1024. about 2 days ago whenever i launch my games in 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080 i keep getting tabbed out if i tab out first. the only solution i found is changing my entire resolution to the one i want to play in and that looks bad

    edit : im on windows 10 i7-4700MQ - intel HD Graphique 4600 - NVIDIA Quadro K610M 16gb of ram

    Alt+Tab screen resolution issues while gaming after latest update.

    I play games on an Asus laptop with only an NVIDIA 960M graphics card. I play some games at lower resolutions to keep up frames while gaming. Prior to the update I could alt+tab out of the game and the desktop screen would return to 1920x1080 and tabbing back in would keep lower resolution I have set for the game. Now, when alt tabbing out of of lower resolution screen, Windows desktop reverts to the lower resolution I have set for the game (in-game resolution is 1280x720, as exclusive fullscreen). And when tabbing back into the game there are some video settings being used that are used for 'borderless window' instead of my setting of exclusive fullscreen.

  3. Weird alt-tab out of fullscreen games.

    Hi Simon,

    The multitasking capability of a game depends on the total memory of your computer. If you have large amounts of RAM on your computer, it can multitask heavy programs easily like high-end games. To ensure that we can provide the appropriate resolution
    for your concerns with the alt-tab function, we’d like to ask you a few questions:

    • What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Have you pressed the alt-tab key during you play Rainbow Six Siege? Or it just happen without pressing it?
    • Does the automatic ALT-TAB behavior happens on other games?
    • Do you have any other programs running on your computer while playing?
    • What is the anti-virus program you're using?
    • What is your device or system specifications? To know, follow these steps:
      1. Press Windows + S and type
        About your PC
        .
      2. Send us the information listed under Device specifications.

    Moving forward, if you're multitasking while playing, we recommend that you play this game only without doing other tasks. Pressing ALT-TAB or performing a multitasking interferes with the performance of your video card, especially if you're running a heavy
    game like Rainbow Six Siege. It will generate screen viewing issues like intermittently switching your game screen between your desktop environment.

    For now, restart your game and do not press ALT+TAB while playing. This will allow your video card to dedicate its graphics performance on the game only instead of your desktop environment.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

    Game Errors because can't press ALT+TAB

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I will surely assist you to rectify the issue.

    The “Alt+Tab” key is used to toggle between different programs as well as multiple Windows of same program. I suggest you to use “Alt+Enter”
    put the game into full screen.

    As a work around, I suggest you to adjust the screen resolution for the game in compatible with the monitor resolution and restart the game and check if it helps.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.
