    I’ve tried everything from restarting the exe to disabling error reporting. I have no idea why this is happening, but it’s super annoying especially if I am playing online and it minimizes a game.

    Games minimizing randomly

    Yes it happens while I am playing and minimizes my game however when I am not playing there is occasionally something that pops up for a split second and I am not able to see what it is. I think this is is what is causing it to minimize.

    The only thing I can think of is I installed the Nvidia driver software called GeForce Experience and updated a driver.

    Yes it happens to any game played in fullscreen.

    Prevent Fullscreen games from minimizing?

    I've been playing an ARPG called Path of Exile lately, and the game seems to run way smooth in Fullscreen mode than it does in Windowed Fullscreen. The only problem I have is if a window pops up outside of the game, it'll minimize the game and pull me out of it. Since I'm playing a hardcore character, this is potentially deadly and a situation I'm looking to avoid. Is there any way possible to prevent another window from taking focus and minimizing another program like the game I'm trying to play?

    Task bar pops in and out occasionally on fullscreen videos and even minimizes games.

    My Task Bar appears even on fullscreen

    The problem is the following:

    (first i wanna say i have my task bar on the top of the screen) when i use a game on fullscreen, or watch a video in any place, i used to put my mouse on the top right corner to watch it full screen without seeing the little mouse there. Now im not able
    to do that anymore because everytime i do that, or i click on the upper side of my screen, task bar appears and it makes my games bug and i screen goes crazy. I tried moving the bar to the right, left and bottom of my screen, but sometimes i need to click
    on one of those borders (still while fullscreen) and the problem is there again.

    If you need any more info just answer this and ask for it. I just need to get rid of task bar randomly appearing when i click close to it while on fullscreen because i've been using windows for years and this never happened before.
