Sims 4 fullscreen mode keeps minimizing
No matter how many solution's I've tried, I can't seem to play Sims in fullscreen mode without it instantly minimizing. This issue only started a day ago and I have tried multiple things to no avail....

@Maasterash I'd still like to see the list of apps that would want to generate notifications if you allowed them.
Additionally, have you tried uninstalling GeForce Experience? It would be odd for it to have this effect on Sims 4, but even with the overlay disabled, it could still be interfering.
I haven't reinstalled Experience since uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, but I never let it optimize games I play because it wants to run them in the wrong resolution. Also whenever I play any games I try to make sure nothing at all is running because I'm always concerned about PC temps and good performance with highest possible graphics. There's not many apps on my computer that show up for notifications, and the only one I actively use, discord, is also closed whenever I play (completely shut down, not just minimized).
@Maasterash This is kind of a long shot, but try playing with no internet connection. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable before launching Sims 4. You should be able to open it from Origin, but in case you can't access your game library, double-clicking the .exe or its shortcut should still work.
I gave up on trying to fix it for a few days and when I went back, it's completely stable again. Other than one infinite saving screen and a crash(from a lot with too much on it from the gallery), there's no problems anymore. I have no idea what is causing this or if it will come back, but I hope not.
