Can't screenshot, alt-tab or use windows key to open start menu while being fullscreen in...

I'm sorry to hear that. But from your many attempts, and your question, it is likely that there is some sort of interference within your system that is causing all the games you have installed to stay on top, i.e. your game window is fixed to the top of all windows.



Currently, you may need to either reset (without Keep nothing) or do a fresh install of your Windows. Unfortunately, there is no alternative way to ensure a more effective resolution. It is important to make sure that you have backed up your files beforehand to avoid data loss during the process.

Hope you are keeping safe and well.

I've tried reinstalling the games, but the problem is still here.

Hi sunday,

It's nice to receive a quick reply from you and let me know your test results along with the relevant device information.



If it's convenient, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if the problem still exists.

Looking forward to your reply.

I have tried creating a new account, but the issue remains. As for the games, yes they are the same games on both PC and the laptop. The games where the problem is happening are mainly Minecraft, Warsow and Warfork. I don't remember if there are any other games I've had this happening since these are the games I've been playing recently. As for the keyboard, it is HyperX Alloy FPS Pro. I have been using the same mouse and keyboard on PC and the laptop, so I know that they are causing the problem. The laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6. As for the PC, I don't know how I'd check, but it has an I5-6600 CPU and an RX 460 GPU if that helps. OS is Windows 10 Home on both.

Hello sunday,

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.

According to your description, the problem you are currently experiencing is that when you play a game on PC, the game interface will always be displayed at the top and you can't take a screenshot and open the start menu with shortcuts, but you can do it on your laptop, right?



For this I would like to know if you are running the same game on both PC and laptop? If it's convenient, could you tell me exactly what game you're playing that's causing this problem? Some game overlays or enhancements, such as those provided by software like Discord, GeForce Experience, or Steam, can interfere with window management. Try disabling or exiting these programs temporarily to see if they are causing the issue. Are you running on the same environment on both your PC and laptop? What is the make and model of each of the computers you use? What model is the keyboard?

In addition, running a game in Fullscreen mode can sometimes cause compatibility issues with other windows or applications. Borderless windowed mode allows for better integration with the operating system.

Currently, you can also create a new account in PC and see if this issue still exists in the new account environment to help us narrow down the issue.
