ALT-TAB CRASH PROBLEM
There is still an unsolved alt-tab problem in the game. Sometimes when I use the alt-tab keys, the game and the computer freeze and I have to reset the computer using the power button. Is there a solution to this problem?

Same problem for me and it's been like that for months.
Always scared to alt-tab and get the game to not responding state.
Only way to get the game to stop running in background is to restart the whole computer every damn times. Annoying as ♥♥♥♥.

It is not a game problem, it is a known Windows issue.

I would switch in game display settings to which ever one is full screen border less windowed or something like that then try alt tab

might be an issue with your pc itself or your display settings. i'd try putting the game in borderless windowed mode. i use that all the time and its fine. and instead of alt + tab you can easily just tab the windows key at the bottom left of the keyboard and itll be an alternative that takes less effort and time

My Eset used to block some part of the game. Unblocking while game running helped.

When you alt tab out of the game, was the game running in fullscreen mode or borderless or windowed mode?

Alt tabbing out of fullscreen mode has always been glitchy in windows ever since I can remember (even in windows xp), however alt tabbing out of a program or game that's running in borderless/windowed mode should never give such issues.

^ The reason, as far as I know has mainly to do with the fact that in fullscreen mode your game is granted deeper hardware access, where as in windowed/borderless mode the game accesses the hardware still through windows as sort of an emulator, this means it's more stable when you try to instantly "switch back" to the operating system by alt tabbing, compared to full screen mode where it first has to revert/reinitialize certain processes.

If your pc if powerful enough however you should not notice any real performance difference in fullscreen mode vs borderless, thus making borderless mode always the preferred option when you alt tab allot or use multiple monitors.

It's clearly a problem with the game client and nothing to do with Windows. I own more than 3K games on steam and Destiny 2 is the only game that glitch that much and goes not responding when alt tabbing.

they will never fix it. Only game on steam it does this is destiny 2.
