I posted that so many times already, but here try this:

Press the Windows Key + R, a little window should open. Write %appdata% into it and then go out of the folder it heads you to, go to "Local" then search for Payday 2, go into the folder and search for "renderer_settnigs.xml" right click and open it with notepad.

Edit this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/enxz33gvzo1x543/renderer.PNG to the resolution of your desktop.

Save and try if it works.

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\PAYDAY 2 should be the folder the renderer_settings.xml of Payday 2 should be in.

Trying to find a solution for this as well. The renderer_settings.xml file was already set to my desktop resolution.

Did you bind reloading your weapon to the windows key?

Sorry, trying to raise the mood :-P

I know that Teamviewer can have a negative impact on keeping games up. Consider restarting if you ever use Teamviewer or similar applications.
I got the same problem sometimes when I press MOUSE1 (shot), at first is freezes for a second or two, and then it minimizes to desktop, really annoying though.

I was having the same problem and for me it was a keyboard/mouse sharing program called Synergy that was causing it. Once I stopped Synergy the minimizing stopped.

Not sure if your problem is solved but I'm using a TP-LINK wireless dongle and apparently the software that came with it was the issue, it used to tab me out of everything, you may have a similar issue so you might want to check it out. If you are using one you don't have to replace the hardware, just end the program.

I have TP-LINK also however I just turned off Skype and the minimizes stop, but i'll check it out as well, thanks!
Just got my game minimized again after I closed Skype and that TP-LINK thing, no idea what else am I supposed to do...

Having the same problem myself. Just randomly minimizes to desktop. Not happening to ANY other games I have. So unless it's being fixed, I'm not playing the game. My fiancee is playing it just fine so I've absolutely NO idea what the heck is going on. All I know it's the game and not my system. If it was my system other games would have the same issue, just saying,

Update: Discovered the cause of the problem. Was my system after all. I'm using Synergy to control my Linux box with my Windows mouse and keyboard. Every time I move the mouse over to the other computer, the game minimizes. Now I need to figure out how I can disable that during game play. Sorry for my rant earlier =)

Even though this thing is 2014, I must add that this is not only happening in Payday 2. Even Dota 2 has this issue for some guys like myself.

Could it be an issue with our OS pushed out in one of the updates? I'm using Win7 Home Premium SP1 and I have this problem occasionally and sometimes with very bad timing.
