    Why am i seeing already closed programs on the background of my screen?


    Hello. i bought my laptop Asus Rog Strix G17 713 RW like 4 days ago and i am having this issue since day 1. IF a game screen stays for like 10-15mins and I switch to other menu setting am seeing the game screen that was on for 10-15mins on background and I think when the laptop gets hot the game screen starts to move it's like shaking. Is there a way to fix this or i have to change the laptop? I tried to add a videowhere you can see the screen flickering,but i can't add a video. You can see the footages from the game Fifa 23

    :)

  2. Background applications

    Hi Robert,

    We understand that you don't want some apps to run on the background of your computer. What we suggest is to
    control which apps are allowed to run in the background. To see which apps have permission, just follow the below steps:

    • Open the Start menu or Start screen and select “Settings.”
    • Click or tap the “Privacy” icon in the Settings.
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select “Background apps.”
    • You’ll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an “On/Off” toggle.
    Just bear in mind that, apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in
    the background.

    Feel free to update us with the results.
