Hello, When Playing games like roblox or minecraft on non full screen and I alt tab to...

Hey!, yeah I tried this on a different browser like opera gx it did the job but I just really prefer chrome-over Opera gx.

Hi Lev,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums! If Chrome is the only app, you have this issue with then it may be a chrome issue. Most likely the issue has to do with how your system is allocating RAM to the app with you are in certain viewing modes.

Sorry, Troubleshooting. I googled for similar problems by anyone else. Alt tabbed in and out. Full Screen Not Full Screen Full Screen. All the Function Keys. Problem still persists

Hi,

Typically you can only ALT + TAB if you've got something to ALT + TAB to. If you've got the game open and nothing else, alt tab won't take you anywhere.

Want to tab to the browser during play, open the browser then launch the game. If you can't tab out of the game press the Windows key. Depending on how the game is being run (Full screen or Windows Borderless) you'll either be able to tab to the browser
you opened or you'll need to press the Windows key. The Windows key will either display your desktop Start Menu at the bottom of the screen or take you to the desktop.

I'm a PC gamer too and the above is what I do to get back to the desktop or go to another application.

Just to clarify - if you alt tab out of a full screen game to a window that's
not covering your entire wallpaper (i.e not maximised), is the game minimised? Or is the game still visually running in the background for you, blocking your view of the wallpaper?

Hi,

If I alt + tab from game that's running full screen then my game is minimised to the Taskbar. I must remind you that unless you have another application either running on the desktop or also minimised, alt + tab won't take you anywhere. If I hold the keys
down, my game shows in a small window in the middle of the screen. When I let go of the buttons it goes back to full screen.

On pretty much all of my games, if I press the Windows Key on my keyboard, it automatically displays the Start menu and my game is minimised completely.

While a game is minimised, it still uses system resources such as in RAM, CPU and GPU cycles.

There is nothing special about my PC configuration. Standard Windows Settings. I built the PC myself it's an i7 8700, 16GB and an RTX 2080 graphics card.
