When I play games, they suddenly move to the taskbar and disappear. I don’t close them, the game keeps running, and I’m just pushed there. This is really frustrating, particularly during multiplayer sessions. Are there any ways to fix this?

I concluded the problem stemmed from Norton Antivirus. Removing it resolved the issue completely.
