how do I make sea of thieves not disconnect when alt tabbing on windows 11

that option to choose background apps is only for windows 11 and also changing the performance mode does not fix it.

Hello BrendanEgan1, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

To answer your question, in the Game support itself, they take the following steps to try to solve the problem:

If the game is suspended when you return to it after pressing Alt + Tab and returns you to the main menu, play in windowed mode. You can do this by changing the game settings or with the “Alt + ENTER” keys. Our team is still working on this issue.

If this doesn't work, try the following:

• The laptop you are using was not connected to power when you started the game or is running in battery saving mode.

• The game cannot run in the background. The user can check if this is the case by typing “Choose which apps can run in the background” and making sure Sea of ​​Thieves is enabled.

• You may have too many applications open that consume Windows memory or processing power. Try closing apps that are running in the background.

• The laptop is not set to High Performance mode (Control Panel > Power Options)

I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you.

What I can do for you is release the question so that another of the many experts on the forum can offer you a better solution. Tell me if you want it that way.

I will be attentive to your response, Blessings and happy new year.

Hello Drag0nFight21,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. It looks as though this is a known Error with Sea of Thieves... please view Disconnecting from game when alt-tabbing. If this does not resolve the error, please open a ticket with Rare - you may do so by clicking open a ticket in the link above (you will have to login to your account).

Are you running into a similar error with other game titles on the Xbox App?

Thank you,

-Tali
