Windows 11 Why do my games keep minimizing to desktop randomly?
When playing games fullscreen on Windows 11, they often jump back to desktop for no reason. No popups, no notifications—just random minimizing.
This is a very common and incredibly frustrating issue on Windows 11. Since there are no popups or notifications, something is stealing the "focus" from your game in the background, causing it to minimize. The good news is that this is almost always fixable.
