cant minimize skyrim window as well as open geforce experience overlay

[Kecheek]

pretty much what is explained in the title. neither of the methods work: alt+ tab, win + tab, ctrl + shift + esc. the only way for me to switch tabs is by opening steam overlay

even worse thing happens with geforce experience overlay. once opened, theres absolutely no way to close it; only by restarting the game. shortcuts dont function as well


all of this is not happening in other games obviously. vanilla, borderless windowed mode. is there anything i can do to cure this cancer?

why use such a crappile like experiance in the first place? as long you dont search for asurefire way to maek games perform worse than they coud when you configure them yourself?

funny idea, how about disable Experiance and look if the Steam overlay reacts after that like it shoud. sidenote: Gamebrio in all forms isnt very font of minimizing/loosing main focus...

if windowed doesnt work, probably nothing will

yes, thats how its set. i just dont understand at all why its the only game that tries to be "on top of the world" not allowing practically anything which would obstruct it. i dont even recall this happening before the anniversary update

ran geforce experience on my desktop. fullscreen, windowed and borderless are OFF.
alt+r
alt+z
alt+tab
everything works. overlays turn on and off.

maybe something else you have running is interfering. create a new local windows account.
logout
login with the new account.
turn off windows one drive (it is turned on by default with new accounts)
start geforce experience.
start steam then the game. try the overlays again.

if overlays still do not work, then might be some app started at boot time.
try windows "clean boot" then try the game

as youre saying it, i realise that it has fixed itself. what happened, is the game literally has set its own resolution to 4K, despite that i dont have such a monitor, and after i launched the game and returned the resolution to full HD, it was no longer happening. im confused

only Akatosh, the God of Time, can explain how windows works.

if it is working .... enjoy the game.
