Doesn't crash, just minimizes. Happens at random times it seems. Sometimes 15-30 minutes in, other times an hour or so in. It will do it with any game. I've updated my graphics driver. I've also adjusted what runs at start up and what doesn't. No virus detected(ESET). No spyware detected(malwarebytes). Windows 10 64 bit i5 processor 16 gig ddr4 ram gtx 960 Awards

Still don't think it is fixed though cause I really haven't tweaked much of anything in last 24 hours. I did find this link which I'm gonna try the next time it does it. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/Closing-Background-Applications Awards

A simple google search shows that it is not an uncommon problem but the solutions seem to vary. For whatever reason it hasn't happened but one other time since posting this. Windows has updated at least once since so perhaps there was something in there that fixed but who knows. But now I've probably jinxed the whole damn thing and it will minimize on me next time I play...lol. Awards
