  2. Weird alt-tab out of fullscreen games.

    Hi Simon,

    The multitasking capability of a game depends on the total memory of your computer. If you have large amounts of RAM on your computer, it can multitask heavy programs easily like high-end games. To ensure that we can provide the appropriate resolution
    for your concerns with the alt-tab function, we’d like to ask you a few questions:

    • What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Have you pressed the alt-tab key during you play Rainbow Six Siege? Or it just happen without pressing it?
    • Does the automatic ALT-TAB behavior happens on other games?
    • Do you have any other programs running on your computer while playing?
    • What is the anti-virus program you're using?
    • What is your device or system specifications? To know, follow these steps:
      1. Press Windows + S and type
        About your PC
        .
      2. Send us the information listed under Device specifications.

    Moving forward, if you're multitasking while playing, we recommend that you play this game only without doing other tasks. Pressing ALT-TAB or performing a multitasking interferes with the performance of your video card, especially if you're running a heavy
    game like Rainbow Six Siege. It will generate screen viewing issues like intermittently switching your game screen between your desktop environment.

    For now, restart your game and do not press ALT+TAB while playing. This will allow your video card to dedicate its graphics performance on the game only instead of your desktop environment.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
     
  3. Windows 11 Alt Tab out of a game

    Just upgraded to windows 11. I am having an issue when I alt tab out of a game it will minimize the game and I can still hear the game running however it will not allow me to tab back in or click the icon. I have tried disabling GPU scheduling and changing the alt tab settings to see alternate monitors which have been suggestions I have found while googling. ANY help would be appreciated.

    Specs:

    RTX 3080

    32GB DDR5

    Windows 11

    Single Monitor
     
  4. Constant BSOD while Alt Tabbing a Game and when Quitting Said Game

    game alt + tab lag

    hello,

    I have this reoccurring issue with most, if not all, games on my pc. When I have a full screen game open and try to alt + tab into\out of the game the screen goes dark for a few seconds (2-3 usually) and then goes through with the action. Any sounds active during that will work as usual, but no video for that time and any actions I try to make wont work until it went through with the alt + tab.

    I have tried many solutions thus far including:

    • Updating my display adapter driver.
    • System file checks (several).
    • Check if it happens for all users (it does).
    • Deleting all temp and %temp% files works for a day or so but it comes back, the first time it worked for a month and now almost not at all.
    All my drivers are up to date (as far as I'm aware) and I did fix my C drive and corrupted windows files just today but it didn't work as well.

    what else can I try to fix this issue?
