Yes, running 8.1, and right around the time nVidia released new drivers a day or so after W10 hit is when my problem started.ĭoesn't surprise me that nVidia's answer was to blame it on Microsoft.

(no matter what drivers) I talked to NVIDIA through live chat, and both times they were hinting it was an issue on microsofts side.? (though it felt like the chat agent wasn't too knowledgeable lol) select Disable Steam Input from the drop-down list cfg with the correct information) and around that same time a server update for TF2 was pushed out 0. When you check settings while in windowed mode it still says you're in fullscreen, which you clearly are not.

In every test, Arma 2/OA would alt-tab instantly when PC was running win7 and would be slow/delayed on win10. With the latest update to the game, when you alt-tab while in fullscreen mode, it puts the game in windowed mode, and you have to alt+enter to get it back to fullscreen mode. Just to clarify, you are running win8.1 and are also experiencing the issue that after an update some fullscreen games/applications that used to alt-tab instantly are now slow/delayed/with black screen in the process?Īs for NVIDIA i tested both older and latest drivers on windows 7 and 10. If I settle back on a game and play for a few minutes then alt-tab back out to something else, that initial delay will return. After that initial slowness, I can alt tab around and it's nice and loose. If I've had focus on the game for a few minutes, the new alt-tab over to, say, a browser (Chrome) will be slow. As of now, none of them require any sort of 3rd party help to achieve it, they have it baked in. Ok,so when i alt-tab out of tf2 it is instant,but when i try to alt-tab back in it takes 5-10 seconds.Is this normalI play on 1080 so its the same as my. I play all my games in some sort of Borderless Windowed Fullscreen mode. This definitely makes me feel it's an nVidia issue. I'm actually surprised I haven't seen 'more' complaining across the board about this issue.

Originally posted by Notebene:For what it's worth, I have NOT upgraded to Windows 10, still using Windows 8.1, and this started happening to me after the last update around the time of the Windows 10 launch. Guess it's windowed mode for the time being then.Īnyone else noticed any similar issues after 'upgrade' to Windows 10? All i ask for is this game to alt-tab the same quick, snappy way it did on Windows 7 now that my PC is running windows 10. I have done some experimenting/testing with NVIDIA drivers/settings, and am almost totally able to rule them out as a cause. I am talking about the game Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead for the ones interested. This NEVER happened while on Windows 7, and is very frustrating. I have noticed some problems when trying to alt-tab out of some full-screen games.Ĭertain games that would always alt-tab instanttly, smoothly with no black screen in the process while on Windows 7 are showing completely opposite results now i'm running Windows 10.īasically this game is taking 1-3 seconds to tab out on windows 10, feeling very slow/buggy and with a temporary black screen in the process. If you have been experiencing the 'invisible players' glitch, I am certain that Focus Assist is the cause of it.I recently 'upgraded' my PC from Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) to Windows 10 Pro. And this recently has caused a few issues with TF2 besides the slow alt-tabbing. And to enagage properly it takes 15-20 Seconds. Focus Assist would automatically engage when you're in a game. It brought a feature called 'Focus Assist' that wouldn't let notifications interrupt your gaming experience. The cause of the slow Alt-Tabbing is the new Windows 10 Update. However, I think I found a solution for everyone with a similar issue. Now every time I alt tab and go back to TF2 it takes like 20 - 30 seconds to open which really frustrated me. It would pickup where I left off with no freezing or anything. I used to alt tab in TF2 all the time when that respawn screen comes up or I am trading and I would come back to the game no issues.
