Game minimizes itself

Hello,

Since yesterday game automatically minimizes itself just after launch.

Works only with windowed mode, but this is not something I would like to use to play. Nothing was changes since yesterday in any hardware / software.

I've already tried to remove stuff from Licensed folder - did not help.

    Hi @LifeL1neOrOut


    Let's take a look and see if we can figure out what might be causing this to happen. 

    First, if you haven't already can you try repairing Apex Legends in Origin to see if that makes any difference at all? If you right-click on the game in your Origin Library you'll see a Repair option when the menu comes up. 


    Let me know if you're still still having the same issue with the game minimizing after that. Thanks!

  • Hi @EA_Kent,

    Yep, I've tried that one. The only thing which helped me is to delete the game and download it one more time. It worked well until today - I got this minimizing bug again and now downloading the game.

    But it's not cool to reinstall game every 4-6 days... So maybe there's something more we can to to get it fixed?

    EDIT

    After complete reinstalling Origin + game itself issue still exists. So even full reinstallation does not solve the problem.

    Hey @LifeL1neOrOut

    I appreciate you giving that a shot. 

    What happens if you start up your PC in a Clean Boot before launching Apex Legends? If this is happening because of something else running on the PC that may help to get around it. You can find more information on how to set one up over at the EA Help website


    Let me know if you're still seeing the same issue happening after that. Thanks again!
