Tabbing Without Minimizing Fullscreen Game!

This guide will show you how to tab out of a fullscreen game without having to minimize it

You need:

- A Fullscreen Game

- Display Fusion

How to set it up:

Since im guessing you know how to install a software ill leave that for you to install, But after you have it installed you gotta rightclick the display fusion icon on ur taskbar and click settings!


Then when DisplayFusion starts you are gonna want to press the Functions tab and then scroll down untill you find "Prevent Window Deactivation (keeps game windows focused)". It should be under Window Managment. When you find it you are gonna want to set up a key combination that you have to press to activate it (i think you have to do this every time you launch a fullscreen game). When that is done you press Apply


When this is done you should be able to enjoy tab'ing out of most fullscreen games!

I hope this guide made ur day alittle better. Because i myself have been wondering about a way to make this work for ages! So im making this guide in hope to help others :3

Also i can't guarantiue that this will work on every game or that it wont cause any problems because everyone has different computers and softwares/drivers installed so don't come blaming me because your game keeps crashing.

Yo dude, it works with Genshin Impact, farming stuff while having an interactive map, marking things off, is working as it should! Thanks!

doesn't work in Forza Horizon 5

doesn't work for me, games lose focus and gets tabbed once i click anything on my second monitor. I hear the audio but games still lose focus. Works on dota2, doesn't work for everything else.

Yeah its abit hit n miss on some games! But im glad some of you are getting it to work :)

This is awesome, thank you. Works in TF2.

I still need to do a few steps as TF2 is minimizing itself when I click on a window from another monitor, but this only happens the first time, after that, it stops minimizing itself. Using triggers will most likely be a good fix.

There's probably another way to fix it, but I'll go ahead and use triggers instead.

I put this value, as well "lock cursor on active window" whenever TF2's window is active, works well. TF2 doesn't lock the cursor properly during gameplay, so I had to add the lock cursor option.

doesnt work for me on csgo

Yeah, i hate having a bunch of single purpose programs! so im glad there are big ones that have LOTS of features <3

Oh, neat. Looks like I won't have to install Borderless Gaming on my next computer. It's nice to roll more functions like this into one piece of software. That way, I don't have to have a frankenstein's monster, house of cards setup with a bunch of single-purpose programs installed to get things working the way I like!

Might be a collission with the new windows update... Try to reinstall the software and redo the settings. If it doesnt fix it then im not sure :/

[The Chosen One]

I'm not sure what this exactly does. I mean alt tab always works doesn't it? What is the usecase?
