Apex legends keeps minimizing.

I open Origin, and click to play Apex. Screen goes to Apex, music starts playing then it just minimizes. So I click the icon bottom of the screen to open it, screen is black and music plays for a sec...

Hi,

just close all the apps and open Apex, don't touch your mouse untill game turn on.

If appears any pupup during the game (when u plug in pendrive etc) problem returns and you have to close and open Apex again.

It works for me.

    I also experience this problem. I have two monitors and if I click anything on my second monitor, Apex minimizes. Borderless window doesn't minimize but it seems like there's a hit to FPS. I do notice it seems like my monitor's ICC profile only applies to the borderless window mode so it looks better, but I think there's a hit to performance. I haven't turned on a FPS counter yet to verify.

    1080p resolution on primary monitor

      I have same issue- I can get game to run in windowed or borderless windowed but will minimize everytime i set it to full screen.  Only resolution I've found is to either reinstall apex or reinstall Nvidia drivers and then it'll work for a day maybe and then it does it again.  Please help.  I've tried most of the resolutions in this thread already but so far the only way I've found to fix are the two ways I've mentioned and they only fix temporarily.
