Each time I begin a game, it closes unexpectedly at unpredictable moments. I’ve turned off all display additions and background processes that could be responsible for this issue. This is incredibly frustrating. The problem isn’t limited to Steam; it occurs with Origin, Steam, Minecraft, and games broadly. Could someone offer assistance?

I recently discontinued using Origin, and it no longer collapses to the taskbar. The program continued to launch automatically.

I’ve noticed the same thing happening with my devices as well. It seems like a standard experience when using Windows, apparently.

I anticipate transitioning to Linux in the future.
Update: Never mind, the reduction in frames per second is unfavorable.

I have resolved the issue by shutting down Origin.

Are all games, or only Origin games, being considered?
I turned off the "Origin-In" feature, but it wasn't effective.

I recently discontinued using the Origin platform, and it now fails to reduce to a minimized state. Origin continues to launch automatically.
