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).

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a bad or stuck key causing this. There could be something in that gamepad doing it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

In my case I had to search for an Windows update and install it. And then the same with my Antivirus. Usually it updates itselve, but not this one. It solved the problem for me.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
