Windows 10 games minimizes periodically

Hello,

To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

• Is the issue particular to a game or all games?

• Is the issue occurring with Windows Store games?

I suggest you to update the Graphic card driver by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

Keyboard presses not working in-game

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Have you tried to customize your keyboard, every single key binding?

What is the Make and the model of the Keyboard?

Are you aware of any changes made on your computer before this issue occurred?



I suggest you to perform clean boot and check if the issue persists.



Refer this article to Perform a clean boot in Windows.



This guided walk-through provides steps to troubleshoot
Mouse and Keyboard not responding in Game but works on the menus.



Clean Boot Disclaimer:

A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment, however that functionality will return when you
reset the computer to start normally
after you have finished your troubleshooting.



Thanks,
