Having the games minimize itself problem

[Xnitro67]

Most games are doing this. like gta4 as soon as i click on on play or like Rocksmith after i choose the profile. its a fresh windows install and i didnt have this problem before but im not sure on whats causing it.

Download this latest DirectX web-based installer, install the 98.2 mb file (approximately) and tell me if it resolved your issue.

ran the setup just went to setup complete

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

Waiting to know if it resolved the issue.

 

[Xnitro67]

I dont see how but it fixed it

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

Glad it helped. It is just nothing but some necessary files that are required to play games and use applications, efficiently. Please select the best answer so that if someone else looks at this post, they could easily find the solution. Is there any thing else I can help you with?

Trying to get my computer connected to my tv via hdmi I have another post that I've started.

Disable the windows error reporting service, OP.

turned it off completely and games still minimize quick reply though

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

Have you updated the board's BIOS yet? If not, please do it right away because that's important for performance stability as well. Also, I suspect on the installed applications. Are you using Avira?

 

[Xnitro67]

the bios is updated and i dont know avira

Then it should be microsoft office's onenote. Exit the application in the background (onenote icon could be seen near by the TIME and DATE) and play your games.

 

[Xnitro67]

I don't have office installed only things running are logitech gaming mouse, GeForce experience, steam, origin, poweriso, rivatuner (gpu stats in game), msi afterburner, MS security essentials, corsair link and plex media server

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

Hmm...."MS security essentials" Close this App.

 

[Xnitro67]

Can't just close it but I did turn the protection off and nothing but the only way to turn it off is uninstall but I use it because it's free with windows and I get no viruses

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

Yeah, I know it comes with OS. I thought its real time protection might be hindering. That's why I suggested you to turn it off/close it off...

If that doesn't work out, please try reinstalling the display driver. Sorry for the late reply. Been busy awhile.

 

[Xnitro67]

thats okay went to download the latest drivers from nvidia and apperently i didnt have the latest drivers. ill restart the computer and see if it fixed it.

Nope rocksmith still minimizes

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

I really ran out of ideas, bro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0OBRHJwVyg

Watch this one.

 

[Xnitro67]

issue resolved it was the rivatuner the problem with that is that now i dont have my framerate temp and mem usage while playing

 

[MostWantedSoulRider]

Just stress test your GPU with unigine heaven benchmark for an hour. That's fair enough. You really don't need an eye on the temps all the time you play your fav games.

 

[Xnitro67]

well once i get these new fans i shouldnt have to worry about temps but i like to watch my framerate depending on the game
