  1. How to stop windows from moving around and resizing after exiting game


    I'm trying to figure out how to stop windows from moving around and resizing when I alt+tab out of a game like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. It gets annoying and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to stop doing that. Any help is much appreciated.

    If it helps to know I'm using Windows 10 64 bit.

    :)

    apps is shaking ( loos )

    If after exiting icons simply disappear then reappear (blink), then it's pretty normal. No reason to worry... If they move around. Then... hm... what the...? Seriously - never heard of icons dancing around, but who knows - the next top 10 game might be

  3. Windows Automatically Resize After Using Full-Screen Game

    I'm running Windows 10 on a Surface 3. When I launch a full-screen application (i.e. a game), I find that any other windows I've left open (web browsers, mail app, etc.) have automatically resized themselves to the upper-left corner of a screen after exiting
    the game. Has anyone had this issue or does anyone know of a fix? Resizing all of the windows every time can get annoying.

    How to stop windows from moving around and resizing after exiting game

    Is your game running at same resolution as native/desktop resolution?
    if for example you run game at 1280x720 but your desktop is 1920x1080 then when you get back to your desktop windows gets confused about sudden change of resolution and window size/position etc. may change.
     
  5. It's not cuz everytime I run it in my native resolution it crashes.

    Also, as a diagnostic press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Task Manager, use End Task on that program. See if you get the same result.
