    Hey all. I just bought a new PC and set it up and everything, but I noticed that if a game is running in borderless windowed mode in the background, and I've for example alt-tabbed to google / discord or whatever, the taskbar shows for a short duration then disappear, and instead I can view the game itself but only where the taskbar is, since the rest of the screen is displaying google or something else. This is very annoying and it wasn't like that before, I'd love to see if anyone knows how to fix it.Image: https://prnt.sc/tdCWgPA1XKBhIn the image you can see me writing this post for

  2. What is the "magic" of alt+tab?

    run in borderless windowed mode, and avoid that requirement of Alt+Tab. it looks the same as fullscreen, but it will fixed issues tied with running in Fullscreen.

  3. Taskbar in fullscreen borderless

    Hi!

    Recently I've run into a small problem with the taskbar. When I play games in fullscreen borderless where the game is still running when I ALT+Tab to another window the taskbar dissapears while the game is running. As soon as I close the game the taskbar
    reappears but as long as the game is running, minimized or not the taskbar is gone. It's still possible to bring it up with the windows-key but I was wondering if there is a solution to this issue.

    Thanks in advance!

    Mikael
