If youre in full screen mode and hit windows key while a multiplayer game is loading or if you’re in a game already the game will become minimized but it disappears. You can still hear the game sounds but the window completely disappears. I even tried alt+tab and it wasn’t there. I tried windows key+tab and it wasn’t there. I even went into task manager and while it showed as a process running, I was unable to click it to make the window come back. I was forced to restart my computer. This has only been happening since the last update. It doesn’t happen every time, but enough times. Please fix.
You are right about this big issue.
Instead of restarting the game, just end the task in task manager.
Switch to Borderless to fix this

Yep, this has been bugging me for about a month now.
it doesn’t even always happen. It only sometimes happens, and only since a more recent update. whenever I do that, the game is still running in the background, music, and sound effects still playing, I have no way to return to the game, and am forced to close it through task manager.
Very disruptive, especially in my dual-monitor setup. I like playing games while doing something on my second monitor, like watching a show, or listening to music. If i ever want to do anything on my other monitor, I risk getting locked out of the game. Super disruptive…
I have been having the same issue.

There’s another post about this in the forums the “solution” for some users is to go to the start menu and search for virtual desktop or desktop virtualization something or the other and change the setting from “only this desktop” to “all desktops” or whatever the only other option is.
