    My PC randomly switches to desktop while gaming


    This is happening in all games, but not in normal computer operations. I have an i7 processor and a Geforce RTX 3060 GPU, so it's not my computer itself. Something going on with windows.. my drivers are up to date.

  2. Games minimising to desktop randomly

    Has anyone encountered an issue where games minimise to your desktop randomly?

    I've done everything i can think of and have tried most suggested things online. the only way I've managed to resolve the issue briefly is when i re-install windows. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The problem occurs in full-screen applications and is really frustrating even though the games are running perfectly.

    My Specs are - Win 10, i3-9100, gtx 1660 ti, 16 gb ram.

    I am trying to run the games on borderless which is fine but the sound and mouse drop out at random intervals.
