    My games are minimized dropping me to desktop by some unknown program that opens and closes...


    I know you can see a list of active programs under the Task Manager/Processes tab. But I never get a chance to see what program it is that is causing my issue.

    While playing games on occasion I have a program that causes my game to minimize dropping me to desktop. I can see the icon on the task bar for a second or two but I don't recognize it. I've been trying to pinpoint which program it is but it opens and closes so fast I never get a chance. I was thinking there has to be something logging what is running with a date and time stamp.

    So my question is how can I figure out what program it was the next time this happens?

    :)

    Borderless windowed problems

    I just wanted to add that I am having what seems like the same issue - any program in borderless window mode will briefly flicker and show the desktop (or an underlying program window) when I rapidly click on the program - it also shows the normal window pane for a very short period (i.e. title bar, minimize/expand/close buttons, border, etc.). This is reproduced 100% of the time I launch a program in borderless window and click a few times - but if I am in Fullscreen Exclusive or change the program to a borderless window while it is running, everything functions as intended and the window doesn't repeatedly drop focus. Hoping there's a fix in the future.

    xbox game bar not picking up audio from microphone

    Maybe discord is causing some troubles with these settings

    Could you try closing everything and try recording a clip just for your game with the microphone enabled?
    (Don't forget to check the minimized icons in the Taskbar, sometimes when you "close" a program it goes to the tray)

    My games keep tabbing out on their own on Windows 11. Please can anyone help?

    1. I play Apex, Valorant and Fortnite and this happens with every game, especially Valorant.

    2. I meant to say that the game just minimizes/closes and I'm met with the desktop screen and I have to click the game's icon from the taskbar to open the game.

    3. I uninstalled a windows update and it didn't fix it, I saw some guides sayin to disable fullscreen optimization and that didn't work too.

    Yesterday, I was screen sharing with windows 11 support for atleast 1.5 hours and he wasn't able to fix it aswell.

    Please help ;)
