All shortcuts close when I play сs, but remain open in the task manager

Hi Максим Пилипенко1,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

I am aware that you're experiencing issues with Counter Strike: Global Offensive. It sounds like the game is causing your computer to crash or freeze, which is causing your open tabs to close. I am here to help and let us work on this together. Allow me to ask some questions.

• May I know when did this issue started?
  
• Is this only happening when playing this specific game?
  

You may try the following steps below to troubleshoot the issue.

Check for Updates:

Make sure both your game and your system software are up to date. Sometimes, game developers release updates to fix bugs and improve game performance.



Update your graphics card drivers:

Outdated drivers can cause issues with games, so make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date.



Disable any overclocking:

If you have overclocked your CPU or GPU, try disabling it to see if it resolves the issue.



Check for overheating:

Overheating can cause your computer to crash or freeze. Make sure your computer is properly ventilated and that the fans are working properly.



Let me know if problem persist so we can provide you with further troubleshooting guide.

Kind regards,

Game Bar does show as running in task manager when I use one of the shortcuts but the program does not actually open so there are no error messages to diagnose the issue. If I end task to close Game Bar then try a shortcut again it does show again on task manager.

yeah deffo scan the pc for malware as stated above, also open task manage and let us know what is running at hight cpu usage this will also help to pinpoint the issue.

shortcut to task manager, hit left ctrl+shift+esc key and this will launch task manager.

I found a work around for this.

1. I made a shortcut on the desktop for "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe" so i can restart the explorer once i finish playing.

* make sure task manager has "always on top" selected under the options tab

2. Start state of decay 2 in full screen once game has loaded. bring up task manager and end task for "windows Explorer".

3. Play the game

4. ctrl-alt-del to bring up task manager select "file" then run new task browse to desktop select explorer.exe shortcut
