Switching to desktop doesn't work anymoe sicne the last origin update

Hi,

is there any known issue why ME3 isn't able to switch between other running tasks/windows/desktop since the last origin software update?

is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Before that update it worked fine, afterwards it isn't possible anymore for me. But it only effects ME3, not other games run via Origin.

I have multiple programs running and need to be able to switch for some seconds to another program and then back. If I do that now, nothing happens (ALT+Tab, STRG+ALT+ENTF, STRG+ESQ, etc.) - every Windows action only results in a short flicker, but game stay focused. Best thing happens, ME3 is going into a pause/break durign videos intro until I switch virtually back to it, then it continues to run.

No other updates or driver changes were done. No hardware change. So I am very sure it is connected to the last origin update.

Best regards

  • A quick update:

    This topic is solved due to another update of Origin... ME3 is reacting properly again and allowing me to switch back to desktop.
