Hi,
Since I installed Windows 10, all my games minimize at random times, I don't have anything else open. It happens with Steam games, as well as games not in steam, like Guild Wars 2 for example. It is so annoying, sometimes I am playing PvP tournament and the game minimize :(
This is happening in all games that I have installed right now:
-Terraria (steam)
-MKX (steam)
-Guild Wars 2
Also I found out that is not happening just in games, sometimes while I am browsing the internet too. I use Chrome to browse.
Did some research on the internet and I found some solutions, but none did work for me. What I did so far and didn't work:
-Disabled Internet Explorer 11 (Edge?).
-Set my Nvidia GPU to single display performance.
-Deactivated Windows Defender.
-Deactivated OneDrive.
My previous version of windows was 8.1, and I never had this issue before. It is only happening since I upgraded to windows 10. Also, to make it clear, the installation was clean, only files/documents were saved from 8.1. to 10. The rest I installed my self, like steam, the games I mentioned above and my GPU drivers.
Please help.
