  1. How to prevent auto switch to desktop from fullscreen games at midnight (12 a.m.)


    Hello! I'm looking for a way to disable this annoying "feature" of windows that manifest itself by switching to desktop at midnight (12:00 a.m.) while i'm playing my games. Once the clock turns 12:00 a.m. my fullscreen game is imediatly minimised and i'm switched to desktop. Any solutions?


    Regards,

    Stefan

    Keeping Game Fullscreen

    When I have a game on fullscreen mode on Windows 10 and then I switch to a different desktop and then come back to the game's desktop, the game becomes minimized and takes a while for it to go back into it. Is there any way to keep it from minimizing when
    switching desktops so I can get back to the game instantly without waiting ~10 seconds?

    Thank you

    Keeping Game Fullscreen

    No, I have my game open on fullscreen (csgo), on one virtual desktop. When I switch to another virtual desktop using Ctrl+Alt+Left arrow or right arrow, it will go to that virtual desktop. When I come back to the virtual desktop that the game was on, not
    minimised, it will be minimised and I'd have to unminimise it which takes like 10 seconds. Any way of making stay fullscreen, which I think OSX does itself?

    (sorry for late response, was looking around on internet for a way to do it, and no one seemed to ask so I just came back here)

    Prevent Fullscreen games from minimizing?

    I've been playing an ARPG called Path of Exile lately, and the game seems to run way smooth in Fullscreen mode than it does in Windowed Fullscreen. The only problem I have is if a window pops up outside of the game, it'll minimize the game and pull me out of it. Since I'm playing a hardcore character, this is potentially deadly and a situation I'm looking to avoid. Is there any way possible to prevent another window from taking focus and minimizing another program like the game I'm trying to play?
