Games keep minimizing randomly, how to solve the issue?

Hello Everyone,

I am a game addict. But recently I am facing a strange problem. When I play games on my Windows 10 PC, it keeps minimizing the desktop. I don't have any idea why it happens. Has anyone faced this kind of issue before? Please suggest me. I am frustrating.

Apparently Win key + d toggles the desktop. Assuming something is not resting on your keyboard, any chance you're accidentally hitting this key combination, thinking you're doing something else?


Discord keeps popping up when I add/remove monitors (turn on/off my TV), but nothing unintentionally showing the desktop as you are getting.

Thank you for your reverting back. This is not like that, that games automatically minimize the taskbar without pressing Win+d.

By the way, I have resolved the issue from here. And now I play games without disturbing and the taskbar doesn't minimize.

This is the 2nd solution that I solved from the article. Actually, my GPU driver was outdated and I just updated the GPU driver from the device manager and the problem got solved.

 Hi there, 

I was also facing the same problem, any game I played kept
minimizing after a few minutes. It was utter frustrating. Then I came across an
article and it solved the issue. 

The action center notifications can cause your game to
minimize if you are using social media in the same computer. Setting up the
focus assist feature can help. 

To go to Focus Assist settings follow these simple steps:  

  • Go to Settings from Windows Menu. 
  • Then go to System. 
  • Go to the Focus Assist.  
  • Select the notification priority up to you. 

Doing this worked like a charm for me but if your problem
doesn’t get solved by it then try the other solutions and check which one works
for you.- Game keeps minimizing

Your issue can most likely be caused by a hidden malware or virus. These hidden malicious apps can launch other apps on top of your game, and hence minimize your game to the taskbar. ... if this is enabled on your device, action center notifications may be causing the “game keeps minimizing” error on your device. but this error not solved in free cooking games   is anyone know how to solve this one....

Ah, the classic "game keeps minimizing" issue – it’s like the game just can’t handle the excitement! This might be due to background apps or notifications hijacking your focus. Try turning off Windows notifications and make sure no apps are running in the background. If you're running a dedicated server for multiplayer, maybe your network's acting up, too. If all else fails, you can always try playing on a dedicated server  with smooth connections, like HostNoc, to avoid distractions!

Hi there,

Yes, I’ve experienced something similar in the past  it can be really annoying when your game keeps minimizing randomly. There could be several reasons for this:

  1. Background apps or notifications interrupting full-screen mode (like Skype, antivirus popups, etc.)
  2. Scheduled tasks or Windows background services suddenly grabbing focus
  3. Driver or system issues, especially outdated GPU drivers
  4. Malware or bloatware running in the background

One thing that really helped me was doing a deep system cleanup and disabling unnecessary background processes. I used IObit Advanced SystemCare  to scan for junk files, optimize startup items, and fix potential registry issues. It made a big difference in my game performance and stopped the random minimizing.

Also, try running the game in clean boot mode or disabling notifications temporarily to see if that helps.
