I described my situation: I was using Firefox and Apex Legends open, constantly switching tabs while playing. It seemed like something triggered the game to minimize unexpectedly—even a small mouse click caused it. The taskbar stopped responding, and pressing the Windows key didn’t work either. On the desktop, everything functioned normally except for the browser. In the game, I could control with the keyboard and see the mouse behave oddly in the middle of the screen. Clicking anywhere minimized the game. When I closed Apex Legends, TM, or Firefox, the problem disappeared. No one knows what caused it.

Check if the operating system is running on an SSD or HDD. Also, note that a recent Windows 10 update caused similar problems a few months back.

The operating system runs on an SSD, while the game uses a HDD. That's a significant consideration.

Your operating system ran on a hard disk drive with limited memory, making it possible in that scenario.

The system runs on an SSD with 16GB RAM, and there’s no indication of a hardware issue. An overclocked CPU might contribute to the problem, but it’s not confirmed yet.
