Ok i went to windows 11 from windows 10. Problem is other now.Games are minimalizing itself after 15 minutes maybe to desktop.Like alt tab. Not crashing. But i am not touching anything. I dont have any apps on backgrouond installed.All programs closed. What can it be?Also focus assist i have to alarms in settings.I dont have any weird process in task manager. Any ideas?

It happened after i installed Microsoft Net Framework kb5013628 update in windows 11. Dont know if that is coincedence or it is caused by that NET F update?

I disabled antyvirus,and other apps. Nothing in background. Only MSI AFTERBURNER. Also on Windows 10 i dont had that issue. Thanks

How consistent is that 10 -15 minute time frame?

Just game windows? All games or just a particular game - which game(s)?

Or does any open window or windows go minimal after 10 - 15 minutes?

As a starting point take a look in Reliability History.

What you are looking for is some error code, warning, or even an informational event that corresponds with the time that a game window gets minimalized.

Could be some buggy power saver, screensaver. Or perhaps some app trying to launch, update, or just phone home.

Try using Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to observe system performance and discover what changes when the problem occurs.

( Note: use all three tools but only one at a time.)

See what you can find. And there are still other things that can, if necessary, be done.
