PSA: Don't press the Windows button while playing

[gaming]

Pressing the Windows button ingame will kick you out of the game, into your desktop. Trying to get back into your game will greet you with a Black Screen, and only sound.

This is deadly in ranked.

Hey Gamer,

Is this a recent bug you've run into or has this been an issue for awhile?

Well it happened to me for the first time today. Also, I have tried alt+tabbing out of the game window and trying to get back in, with the same result, black screen.

Full-screen or windowed borderless?

Well, pressing windows key is not recommended in any game. The problem you describe is isolated to your specific hardware/software configuration, more likely software issue. Personally i do not have such problem on my pc.

Try to do clean reinstall of gpu drivers and wipe temp and prefetch folders in windows.

In my case, while using resolutions enabled with VSR and i alt+tab from and back to game then i get corrupted, artifacting-like image and workaround to it is to alt+enter twice to make things work ok.
