My client randomly minimizes. I do not have to be touching the keyboard or mouse for it to happen, and I can do nothing to forcefully reproduce it. Happens about every hour or so. It creates horrifying situations in WvW, and has gotten me killed more than once. Happens full-screen or windowed.

I don’t have a specific date for when this started, but I know it didn’t happen before HoT.

I have no other programs running except background stuff like Nod32, Steam, etc. Nothing else up on my screen.

I run a dual-monitor setup, if that matters. Nvidia card. Windows 10.

If you’re running in full screen mode, then some other program on your system is taking focus away from GW2.

Try running Windowed Full Screen mode instead. You may still lose focus, but the client won’t minimize and it’s faster to get back into the action.

I did a little more research and it seems to be more of a Wiindows 10 issue than anything else.

I guess this topic can be closed since it’s not arenanet’s responsibility here.
