Windows 8. Thread starter newconroer Start date Jan 10, This can also happen when I'm playing a game in full screen. I'll be happily playing away full screen, native resolution, mouse locked in to screen, when suddenly one of the windows on the second screen will just minimize themselves, causing my game to also kind of I've looked in to many different things to try and resolve this, but none of the solutions I've found match anything I have.

For instance, a lot of solutions suggest disabling Tablet mode. I don't have that enabled. Others suggest disabling scaling. I don't have scaling enabled. This only started happening a month or two ago, and I've updated my GPU driver several times since then, done totally clean installs of it etc. I've run DISM, and it's found no corruption. There don't appear to be any events in the eventlog at the time when it occurs, so I'm completely lost as to how to even trace the cause of the issue.

Anyone come accross this in the past? Anyone got any suggesitions as to how I can figure out where it's coming from? If it only ocurred while playing a game, I'd be happy to just say it's an issue with the game, or perhaps full screen display, but the fact it does it when just sitting at my desktop while there is no interaction with the computer at all is quite perplexing. After you maximize a screen hold down the Shift key and click on the X in the upper right to close the screen.

Then when you open it it should be maximized. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I WANT my windows to be floating windows. The issue is they keep minimizing themselves without me even clicking anything. And my minimized, I mean the window will be sitting there one minute, and the next, it disappears from my screen, by getting minimized to the task bar.
