I can't minimize the Game apex legends

I can't minimize the Game anymore.

I used to press the "Windows" key and the game minimized.

Of course I checked that I am still in Fullscreen and not in any other mode.

Does anyone have the same problem?

How can I fix it?

I tried "-anticheat_settings=SettingsDX11.json" and it still doesn't work. I would appreciate any recommendations.

    There is a solution :

    go to steam, library, right click apex, click properties. 

    under general tab, launch options, add

    +mat_minimize_on_alt_tab 1

     

    this will let you minimize as before

    There is no solution. Thank Respawn for forcing DX12 on everyone even though DX11 ran better and was able to minimize the game.
