Battlefront II minimizes itself on start

Hello,

Whenever I try to launch Battlefront II - Celebration Edition from Epic Games Store, the game minimizes instantly and when I try to click on the icon in the taskbar, it shows a black screen and minimizes again. 

The game worked absolutely fine before, but now, I can't even play it.

How do I fix it?

EDIT: I also should notice that the game does sometimes work perfectly fine, but rarely. 

EDIT 2: Please help. I really like the game and want to play it but I can't. I tried reinstalling the game and it still didn't help!! Please help!!

EDIT 3: Finally solved. If you have a similar issue try to move the taskbar to bottom.

    I even tried reinstalling the game. That still isn't helping, idk why and what is causing that.

    If you have two monitors, try disabling the taskbar on the one you are not playing the game. It solved the issue for me.

    Few moments latter... it still minimizes to task bar. It has something to do with the resolution... But I'm not sure why, I can't check video settings of the game because the game is not available more than a few moments. Game is unplayable for me.

    Hi, i had a constant issue of it lagging then minmising after around 10 - 20 seconds. I fixed it by changing the "fullscreen mode" to borderless instead of fullscreen
