    Random return to desktop during a game


    Hello,I have been encountering an annoying issue for a long time and tried a lot of fixes from searching on internet :Every time I launch and play any game it will minimize itself randomly generally after 5 to 10 minutes. The game is not crashing when I click back on it the game is full screen again and i can continue to play but the issue comme back again and again. I have been trying a lot of different fixes found in internet from other people experiencing a similar issue but none have worked. I have one hope because yesterday I have tried to deactivate the real time protection from windows

    :)

    Desktop

    Margrave,

    If the problem symptom returns [Desktop showing the correct contents when looked at in File explorer but not when looking at the Desktop itself], right-click on an empty area of the Desktop and select Refresh.

    Many people have found that their Desktop's are not refreshing automatically and are forced to take this step. I searched & searched for a permanent solution but every suggestion I found either had no effect or had only a limited-duration effect.

  3. Desktop colours not returning to normal

    This seems like a stupid question but I can`t find the answer on the web. Recently bought my first lcd monitor and I`ve noticed that unlike crt monitors , the desktop colours change when you launch a game and don`t return to the desktop settings unless you open Catalyst cc. This is with an ati card . With an nvidia card on the same monitor , the driver seems to do this for you.

    Things that I`ve already tried :
    1 Use the monitor to adjust brightness settings - doesn`t get the colours I want.
    2 Somebody suggested using powerstrip , but I couldn`t get it to work.

    Is this obvious , or do you really have to open ccc every time you close a 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.
