Apex Legends keeps alt-tabbing to desktop

Apex Legends keeps alt-tabbing into desktop. I thought it was due to notifications, but I've disabled notifications from discord, windows, origin and closed all background programs, and it keeps happening. It's totally random.

and no I will not accept playing borderless as a solution.

  • Hey @winterohgod 

    Have you already tried setting focus assist to priority only when gaming?


    You can do this as follows:
    Press your Windows key and click settings.

    Go to System and in the list, on the left side, you'll see Focus assist.

    Open the tab focus assist and take over these settings:

    When I'm playing a game: On

    When I'm using an app in full-screen mode: on

    Let me know if this fixed the issue. 🙂

  • Hi, i have the same problem and i tried to fix it with the options you wrote here; but the problem is still there!

    I have an RTX 2080 and I5-9600k. How can i fix that?
