Windows 10: Some video games are getting tabbed out for no reason

this started about 2 - 3 weeks ago. while im playing either overwatch or valorant i get tabbed out of the game randomly. Its making it impossible to enjoy those gamesIve tried closing all unneeded programs in the background, unplugging my second monitor and using window focus logger to see if its a program doing it but it showed nothing causing it.Ive been able to play other games without it happening so I'm so confused. I haven't made any major changed to my pc recently besides normal windows updates and driver updates.

  Driver tab and select Rollback driver.

If the issue persists, it could be better to contact the developer of the game.

No enhancemend tab and no bar to reduce microphone boost

Thank you for the screenshots.

Since you aren't able to see the enhancement tab, then it could be due to the sound card installed on your device. We suggest reinstalling the sound card drivers by following the steps below:

• On the search bar, type Device Manager and press Enter.
• Select Sound, video and game controllers.
• Right-click on the device and click Properties.
• On the Driver tab, select Uninstall.
• Click OK.

After performing the steps above, restart your device and see if the issue still persists.

If you need additional help, feel free to get back to us.
