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...

I think that I found a fix that works for me at least... For Discord users, try disabling the Discord Overlay for games, that seemed to fix the problem with minimizing for me. I haven't had any issues with the window since I disabled the overlay, I manage to even tab through other windows and back to the game without any problems. If you don't have Discord, check if you have any other software that has in-game overlay of it (could be the issue) .

Here we are mid 2021 and I am yet to find a solution to this problem. I am thinking about reinstalling windows and just going ham on this system.

      LG OnScreen Control software cause this issue with 100% repeatability. I have to terminate it every time I launch Apex.

      Not only with Apex, some other games minimizing too. And I have only one monitor...
