"Alt-Tab" to desktop: game gone from taskbar, cannot activate game again
When I'm playing games on Steam (any game) I need to alt-tab back to my windows desktop to do non-game related activities. For a while now I noticed that the game I'm playing does not show on the taskbar anymore after alt-tabbing back to my desktop. I looks like the game shut down.
However, when I open the Task Manager the game is still running. I just seems like the taskbar icon that allows me to maximize the game screen is suddenly gone. Unfortunately I don't know how to maximize the game again from the Task Manager, so the only thing I can do is shut down the game through the Task Manager.

Anyone has any ideas on how to fix this? I have this with all games I play. I'm running Win10 64-Bit Pro edition, with just one monitor.

Run the games in borderless windows instead of fullscreen.
