Windows 10: RANDOM: Certain games keep pushing me to desktop

So I have an issue where certain games. Keep pushing me to the desktop. The games don't close or crash.It just sends me to the desktop with the game. Still open , so I have to click the game icon to open it back up.So far, the 2 games that is happening on is fallout. New Vegas and populace the beginning. So a few older games. I've seen many threads on reddit on the microsoft forum on Q u o r a But no actual solutions.I'm managed to fix the problem by shutting down every single process in task manager except the core system. Obviously not the best solution. I've got all notifications off.Closed

Microsoft 'pushing' ads to your desktop? On 22H2 19045.2728

That's it - product suggestions pushed onto the desktop. It's new to me as I've never ever encountered them before, hence my curiosity. What might have changed for this to suddenly on my desktop out of the blue? - - - Updated - - -

Thanks - again, I only enquired on that due to me not having come across it before. I initially thought it might be something dodgy, hence I posted on security forum. Judging by the responses, these 'suggestions' on my desktop are nothing new or unexpected, but as it's fresh to me, I was wondering what may have changed for these push-suggestions to appear on my desktop? - - - Updated - - - Incidentally, I've cloned my drive and have tried to run MS Defender Offline scan, but does nothing after I confirmed YES to the UAC. In the past, the PC restarts and the scan starts...

 

crashes in certain games

Are they just random crashes? Or do they most commonly occur 5 minutes into playing a certain game?

 

Game controller causes random BSOD

Your device list doesnt indicate any game controller. Not in driver-versions text file. What controller is it? Are you using the microsoft provided driver, a driver on a disk or ? If it was installed, i would suggest going into device manager and making sure the box in the image is unchecked. Yes its for my mouse, but same thing.
