Windows 10 minimizing any games automatically at random times

Anonymous

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.

Howdy my fix has worked for a while now.

I turned off onedrive , Seems every few minutes as it searches for new file to back up this is what is causing the change to desktop and of course it is not an error so does not show up in the dxdiag or msinfo

Try it just disable you onedrive syncing for a day and no more flash to desktop, Hope it works for yall so happy I can play games without suddenly being on the desktop and vehicle slams into wall or someone kills me lol
