I’m experiencing a strange issue while playing League of Legends on one of my Windows 10 setups.
Occasionally, the game randomly loses focus, causing a significant FPS drop. To temporarily fix it, I have to alt+tab out of the game and back in.
I’ve found that the problem can be consistently triggered by using the multimedia keys on my keyboard( volume controls) while in-game, so i can recreate it. I have a dual boot system with a similar Windows 10 and similar apps, and the issue doesn’t occur there.
I’ve already tried disabling all non-Microsoft services, but the problem persists. Since this only happens on one Windows, I suspect it’s due to a specific setting I changed on that system. I would be really grateful if someone could help me figure this out.
The FPS drop may not be obvious in recordings because they are capped at 60 FPS and i'm playing at 144fps, but it’s visible in the top-right.
