Unfortunately, this does not look like it has been solved. While watching a movie on Disney+, multiple times it kicked itself out of full screen.

Actually no. I would be very happy if that is actually the fix. I will give it the rest of the weekend and report back if I see it happen again. I played pretty much all night and it never happened after the uninstall/reinstall of Nvidia Geforce Experience.

Thanks for the reply. No AVG on this system.

I have done full system sweeps for malware and viruses. System performance looks good too, nothing out of the ordinary running. I did uninstall the Nvidia software and reinstalled it. Haven't run into the issue yet while playing a game, but it is only been like and hour or so.

I am having an issue where applications/games that are in full screen, or even windowed full screen for games are losing focus to the desktop. Depending on the application sometime even jumping out of the application to the desktop. This includes games, VLC, Youtube, Netflix etc. I have...

Building this soon once I see all the holiday prices. Just curios on people's opinions. There is not much wiggle room on the budget, I am pretty much maxed out as is. This is primarily a gaming rig, but I dabble in video post production as well from time to time. I already own HDs and...

Thanks for the input everyone!

Looking for suggestions on a PSU for my new gaming rig. Preferably modular and Gold rated efficiency. Enough power to run the components and have some wiggle room so I am not pushing the limits on the wattage. Only things not on this list are 2 HDs (non SSD) and 2 optical drives. Hard for me to...

Since you're running a single monitor at 1920x1080, having SLI with the 780 is not really necessary. That single card alone will give you all the FPS goodness you will need. This really depends on how soon you are looking to buy. If this is a, have to have something new now thing, then the...

Thanks for the input folks. Looks like i'll have to decide between the 7970 or the GTX 770. Any thoughts on that? From what I have been reading, they almost perform identically, just one does better at one game and one does better at another.

I suppose the money is less the concern, I just don't want to waste it on excessive power that I won't utilize knowing I am capping my resolution and only using a single monitor. With that said, I don't want to have to turn settings down, I want to be able to play them at a solid 60 FPS on the...

I am looking at getting a new GPU for gaming at 1920x1200 resolution. That is what my monitor maxes out at and I don't plan on upgrading. I'm focusing on the GTX 770 or 780. Maybe the R9 280 or 290, but leaning more towards Nvidia. With that resolution, is there any reason to go up to the...

Helping a friend purchase a laptop for on the go video editing. He is looking at the Lenovo Y500 16GB RAM version. New Egg link here. I know it is a gaming laptop, but I figure the i7 with the Dual GT 650M SLI will help with video rendering. Just curious what everyone thinks and/or if...

I did do that last night, but it was late and I was running a backup so I have yet to restart the computer and see if that eliviates the problem. My assumption is that it should. We shall see.
