Question Games minimizing/Windows 10

[JoeyAngelo]

So, I've seen various posts about this but no real answer yet as to a solution. My Games keep minimizing every 20 to 30 minutes, and I can't tell what's causing the issue. Scanned the computer for viruses, tried turning off game mode/notifications..OneDrive has been disabled, hell even checked for new drivers and to no avail. Is there anything I can post here to make things easier to figure out what is causing this? I'm about to reset windows if this keeps up, kinda want to avoid this but it's starting to get to me. Please if anyone has any imput on this I'd greatly appreciate it. I've noticed that when I play Hearthstone in a small window mode, I still notice that something wants to take me out but can't figure out what.

Playing your games in high priority mode via task manager might help. It is definitely a rogue program on your computer, maybe look through your applications and delete unneeded ones.

Thanks for your advice, I'm going to try that. Do you happen to know how that is done? Like finding the launcher and just going to properties?

To give high priority to a task:
CTRL + ALT + ESC (opens task manager)
Click on Users
Drop down your account and find the application you wish to change priority of
R-click on it and click on details
R-click on that and click "change priority" and set it to high

Thanks buddy, I'll give that a shot. I'm still having the issue and I'm trying to figure out what is running in the background but even when I look at resource manager I can't tell.

Look at your startup programs and try disabling ones you don't need.
