Encountered a new issue that just started happening today. Whenever I start GW2 through the launcher, after logging in and hitting play the game pops up (full screen), then gets minimized to the task bar once it reaches the character select screen and will not open or anything of the sort. There’s no system delay or choppiness associated with it.

I’ve tried updating drivers and Windows (using Win 7) and nothing has resolved the issue. Very odd problem that I’ve never seen with anything else before so unsure what to do. Canadian internet so would rather avoid redownloading the program due to bandwidth caps.

Sounds like another case of deleting your local.dat file to fix this. Search for that file, either in your games folder or your gw2 root folder. Resets your settings, it will generate a new one.
