Exiting to notifications?

[Talon]

Hi all, hoping someone has an easy fix…

Every time I click on anything in any menu… literally anything , a menu icon, a truck upgrade, a driver picture, the game minimises and the notifications come up on the desktop

What’s really weird though is that once it has done it once, I can then click on that particular thing in the future and it won’t do it again

Any suggestions appreciated!

Are you pushing any other key by accident maybe?

No, I thought that when it first happened, but (best example) I just put about 30 lights on the front of a Mercedes, and at least 20 times it exited to notifications…

And what do these "notifications" say? You have to tell us more if you want any serious help. A screenshot of it could also tell us a lot.

And when you say "I can click on that particular thing", what does that mean, exactly? What are you actually clicking on? An OK button or something?

Also, you have 43 hours playing ETS2. Has this always happened to you the entire time you have had ETS2, or did this problem suddenly start happening today?

So...

The notifications don't say anything. When I say notifications tab, I mean the one that comes out of the right hand side of the desktop screen to tell you that you've got new emails etc... but there's never any notifications on it

Clicking on absolutely anything ranging from the bank/driver/buy truck/map tabs to trying to place things on trucks when buying them, even clicking places on the map. If it involves a mouse click, the first time it's clicked it will minimise and go to the notifications tab... the second time it's clicked (for example the second time I click the bank) it won't do it

43 hours - I did have 35 hours but it's been a few years since I last played. I can't actually remember the reason I uninstalled last time, but I don't remember having this problem last time either

It's happened ever since I installed it a couple of days ago

Here are 2 Microsoft Support articles that seem to fit what you describe. I don't have Win10 so I cannot test this myself.

Read both articles and all of the replies for things you can try to resolve your problem.

Really appreciated!

In the end I deleted the profile I was using (annoying because I was on level 9) and the new profile doesn’t seem to have the same bug… so I guess it was a bugged save file

Seems more likely it was something you accidentally did in the game's controls mapping (buttons/keys). Probably equated to some obscure keyboard combo that opens the Notifications tab or something related to that.
