    Hello. I bought a second monitor and checked everything in the settings etc. and I don't know what to do anymore. Namely, I have 2 monitors and I play on the main one and I will turn on youtube on the second one. And while playing, when I press the second monitor where youtube is, the game is minimized. And can it be done somehow that I play and when I click on the second screen, the game will not be minimized? I will say that when I connected the second screen, it was good for 2 days, and after two days it just did not work as I wanted.

    Turn off the fullscreen. Often the games also have a nice "fullscreen windowed" option which gives the same effect as fullscreen but it just won't minimize you. If the game has no such options, it remains to play in the window simply enlarged to the maximum.

    Do you have GeForce Experience installed and up to date? Check it for an up-to-date game driver.
    Do Optimize Games there too.

    Could that also be some feature on the system that does what happens when you change desktop because I guess you have Win10 and use multiple desktops?

    Unfortunately, it is the same when I switch from the game to the second monitor and when I click, the game automatically minimizes

    Do you have game mode enabled in your windows settings?
    Press the windows logo + I combination.
    If this does not help, you can try to start the game, minimize alt + tab, then ctrl + alt + del, find the game in the list of processes and right-click -> Set priority -> High.

    Let me know if it worked.

    When I click, windows + l logs me out and I have to enter the password

    And then I set the priority nothing high and nothing else the same as it was. And what you told me to download, I don't have to set anything there ??

    @ Label303 have you tried in the game to just set frameless or fullscreen windowed mode?
    As for me, the 724R tips do not apply, neither the GeForce software nor the Windows Game Mode offer "no minimization of the fullscreen game", it is a matter of windows activity in Windows. A high priority all the more so.
    There used to be separate programs to keep the window on fullscreen, maybe I'll dig it up somewhere.

    @Edit this program was probably DisplayFusion

    But if I set the window mode, I will not have the game on the entire screen?

    Games often have options not windowed mode, but windowed mode without frames, which gives a fullscreen effect, but thanks to this the window behaves like a normal window.
    What game are we talking about here?

    Counter Strike Global ofensive, Gta V or the so-called Lol game (League of Legends)

    I do not know about CSGO and GTA V because I do not play games at all, but I have LOLA on my computer and I checked and in this game you have the "Borderless" mode and normally when you click Alt + Tab, you can do something on the second monitor and the game remains as if in fullscreenie (in appearance) but it works like a window.
    All I know is that more and more games have this feature.

    But if I turn on this window, the game will continue to be on the entire monitor?

    Kurka rka, am I writing in a different language? :shii:

    The game will not differ from the fullscreen in appearance. It will be all over the big massive screen, from the top left corner to the bottom right haha

    However, it will have the disadvantages of windowed mode in terms of performance, i.e. lower priorities, etc.

    Should I send you a screenshot?

    But did you set it on the main cs or on the second ?? Does it matter which monitor the game will be on?

    I asked the IT specialist and he told me that nothing would be done.

    Have you ever tried to play with virtual desktops if you have Windows 10? Maybe this will work.

    Okay, in the example of lola, you set the frameless mode, and click alt + tab and the game minimizes right?
