    My Monitor's G-Sync Malfunctions After Alt-Tabbing Out Of A Game In Windows 11


    I just bought an Asus TUF Gaming VG249QL3A monitor. It has FreeSync Premium and it's certified to be G-Sync compatible. I plugged it to my RTX 3050 laptop through an HDMI 2.0 slot.I set the refresh rate to the full 180hz through the Nvidia Control Panel and enabled G-Sync on Fullscreen mode. I set this new monitor as my primary one, as opposed to the laptop screen, which is currently disabled.In games, everything works fine as it changes the refresh rate according to the frame rate. That is until I try to alt-tab out of a game. The monitor keeps whatever refresh rate it was getting even when i

    Windows 11 Alt Tab out of a game

    Just upgraded to windows 11. I am having an issue when I alt tab out of a game it will minimize the game and I can still hear the game running however it will not allow me to tab back in or click the icon. I have tried disabling GPU scheduling and changing the alt tab settings to see alternate monitors which have been suggestions I have found while googling. ANY help would be appreciated.

    Specs:

    i7-12700k

    RTX 3080

    32GB DDR5

    Windows 11

    Single Monitor

    Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

    I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

    I think I have to take the following steps:

    • Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
    • Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
    • Startup PC
    • Reinstall display driver
    • Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
    • Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
    • Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
    • Calibrate my 1440p monitor
    Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
    Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

    Is there anything else I should do/know?
