For some time the game would go to the desktop from out of no where. Then it stopped for a couple of weeks now it`s back. Does anyone else have the same problem and did you find a solution? I haven`t done anything as far as changing things.

    Is the game completely crashing or is it randomly minimizing itself?

    Randomly minimizing itself. I have looked into all my windows settings and still cannot figure this one out.

    Are you running Razer Synapse, by any chance?

    Mine was randomly minimising itself all the time until I turned Synapse off.

    No I don`t have Razer software loaded or a Razer hardware.

    Have you tried a selective startup to see if that will help?

    Disabling background processes can be done by rebooting the PC into a selective startup. This will disable third party software running on the PC. Test your setup under the selective startup and see if the issue persists.

    A... that will stop my anti-virus and some very important services.

    When performing the selective startup you are given a list of services to disable, so you can leave anti-virus or other important services running while disabling other non-important ones.
