  1. Tabbing out of a game unexpectedly


    This has been happening for so long and I'm starting to get really frustrated with it. Basically, when I'm doing something that's more than just web browsing, it will occasionally tab out like someone pressed alt+tab. I don't press anything, it just kinda happens sometimes. It'll even happen while I'm watching YouTube. I will be watching the video and then the taskbar suddenly appears over the bottom of the video.

    When I'm playing a game like Minecraft, it'll occasionally just disappear and I'll have to click on the icon in the taskbar to bring the game back. There's nothing that seems to trigger it specifically and I can go for a while without issue and then it'll suddenly be back and happen a lot.

    Is there anything specific I can try to get rid of this issue? It's incredibly frustrating, especially when it happens in a game like Rainbow Six Siege or now Doom Eternal.
