Battlefield V keeps minimising to the task bar

Battlefield V is randomly minimising to my task bar during game play and even when I am waiting to join a game. I have followed the instructions on the Origin help page to clear the cache.
I have no malware or viruses on my PC as it is only used for music production & gaming. This started happening on the last update and the 2nd one before that. The update in between those 2 seemed to stop the problem.
Please help as it is making the game unplayable.

    Hi @RootineCzechUp ,

    There is a suggested workaround from @MADrag0n via @Dreamadv that works for some players. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

     Fullscreen game-breaking bug

    1. Close Origin and services processes (OriginWebHelperService.exe and OriginClientService.exe).

     

    2. Delete all files in 2 folders

    "C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"

    "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"

     

    3. Start Origin again

    Turn off Origin in-game.

    Turn off Nvdia Experience ingame overlay.

    Hey, so I'm trying to attempt this but the folder in AppData and Local for the licenses doesn't actually exist for me. Seeing as you sound like you know your way would you happen to know where that'd be or how to retrieve it?

    This breaks the Steam version to where you will need to reinstall the game.

    Also this is still an issue as of 8/2021.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
