I'm unable to ALT-TAB or minimize the game.

[Von Stoffen]

I really enjoying the game, but i've been unable to alt-tab or minimize the game and its been really annoying, Dear Developers, could you please fix this issue?

Thanks.

I wish I saw this before I bought it. Same reason I use Alt-TAb

Works fine for me. The game runs in borderless-window fullscreen by default for me and alt+tabbing minimizes the game instantly.

I run the game fullscreen (not borderless window) and alt+tab works fine for me

It seems to be working on my Notebook for now, haven't checked on my PC.

I have the same problem. I've been able to alt-tab until the last time I opened the game, about half an hour ago. I've been playing all afternoon whilst posting on Discord. I hear the Discord beep, I pause the game and alt-tab out, then alt-tab back. Smooth as butter. Now I can't

Question for 29AMan: what was the purpose of hitting the windows key? I did that, but it does not allow me to switch to another window.

Using Windows 10, btw.

Maybe it's a Windows 10 issue cause I have Windows 7 and I just came out of the game running the beta patch and it alt tabbed just fine. The game seems to run in borderless windowed mode by default cause there's no delay between alt tabbing and when the window disappears/reappears which is very nice.

[Sue D. Nim]

Yes, but I've played 21 hours, according to Steam, and alt tab has been working just fine. Thanks, though.

You could be right, it still could be Window 10's fault, I'm constitutionally unable to get my head around something working, then suddenly not working when no variables have changed. :)

Did a Windows 10 update come through that you might have missed?

If you press 'Alt-Enter' it puts the game in a window that you can minimize as well. At least for me on Win10.

Black Jesus: Not that I'm aware of, but thanks.
jhughes: Thanks for that tip, but it doesn't work either.

I have found a temporary workaround involving using a virtual desktop. The same problems persist, but I can press the windows key and THEN it allows me to do what jhughes describes, enabling me to switch from one virtual desktop to the other..

Since I'm not the only having the problem, I hope that a permanent solution can be found as my workaround is a PITA.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, though.

I use 2 screens and just click on the one it isn't on, minimises instantly.
