    Windows Media Overlay causing fullscreen game to flicker on and off.


    Recently I have been having this issue where whenever I use my dedicated media controls on my headset or keyboard while playing a Fulls creen game or watching a fulls creen youtube video the screen flickers once when the overlay pops up and then flickers again when the overlay disappears. I tried disabling full screen optimizations for all my full screen games but that just gets rid of the overlay completely which is not something I want. I want to be able to check whats playing on spotify or youtube etc. While playing a full screen game. Just cant seem to understand why my screen flickers when I play or pause media.

    :)
