Alright, I think I've fixed this issue... for some reason, CrystalDiskInfo was causing the problem. I found out what the problem was through a useful tool I saw recommended on a Steam thread called "
Focus
" by Happydroid. You run it before you run whatever program is causing a problem and if it minimizes, the tool tells you what minimized it.
For whatever reason, CrystalDiskInfo was listed. I closed the program and re-ran both ESO
and
Deus Ex, both of them seem to be working. That is massively weird, I never had that issue before and I haven't messed with any settings or anything recently. Oh well, chalk it up to another PC oddity that seems to only affect me, for whatever reason.
@JakobFel
what version of crystaldiskinfo are you on? I just started having this same issue after updating to version 8.7.0. Prior to this I was running 7.7.0 and had no problems
Also, I discovered that this only happens when resident mode is checked, AND resident style is set to hide, AND it's been closed/hidden to the system tray
It does not matter if you're running 64 bit or 32 bit mode
p.s. sorry to necro
