Alt-Tab Back Into GW2 Causes Hang

So I know this is on a beta OS, Windows 10 Preview build 10130, but since the OS is coming in a few months, I wanted to note that after I Alt-Tab out of the game, usually to check on something or open up Spotify or TeamSpeak3, Guild Wars 2 hangs and will not go back into the fullscreen of the game. My mouse cursor on the Windows page turns into the cursor from Guild Wars 2, and will not select anything, not even the Task Manager box. I know it may not be worth looking into on an unfinished OS right now, but it may be good to look into once Windows 10 hits RTM if you can get it on test machines.

It isn’t super serious, more of an annoyance, but I never had this issue in Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1.

Cheers

I run win 10 TP build 10074 myself and it works to switch between fullscreen with alt-tab on this build and windowed (although there is an issue with not resizing aspect ratio to fit window like the earlier build did – it looks compressed in horizontal).

You might want to add some more information about which version of video card driver you are using on that build and be more specific about your hardware (CPU+RAM), sound/audio (known problem with Realtek drivers for 5.1 surround), keyboard and mouse as those could have problem with drivers that might be interfering with GW2.

Had myself some strange behaviour from keyboard/mouse (both use the same driver/app) adn USB have been reported to act up in some builds of W10TP.
