Games continues to cause alt-tab issues even when using fullscreen mode.
Hi, randomly, with no clear connection between them, my games keep switching tabs. This isn’t related to any key presses or inputs—it happens even when using a controller and not touching the keyboard. I installed a program that displays input activity and priority changes, and it shows that whenever my system runs a "System Idle process," the game returns to the desktop. This only occurs in fullscreen mode, not in windowed or split windows. I’ve tried setting the game to high priority in the task manager, but it doesn’t solve the issue. Anyone know what this process is and why it’s causing me to alt-tab? Thanks.
It happened to me also. During random moments while playing Apex, Alt-Tab would suddenly exit without reason. I had no idea it was because a program started or another app forced the game to close it as it was prioritized. After checking, I discovered that on some engines disabling the in-game overlay could resolve the issue, especially during crashes. Steam Overlay or EA Overlay... So... try disabling it...
