Had this problem for a little while now, sometimes guild wars will work completely fine and most days whenever I launch the game it will minimize itself after about a minute and take me to my desktop, I click back on to get back to the game then after another minute it will do the same thing again. Impossible to play like this, what’s the problem?
Game minimizes itself every minute?
Are you playing in fullscreen mode? If so, there most likely is another program in the background which is demanding focus. This causes a fullscreen application to be minimized.
Think about anti-virus, windows updates, IM programs (MSN/skype).

I discovered the cause of this on my Windows 7 machine. I sync to skydrive and gdrive and I had the icons for those permanently in the system tray. Every time one of them started to sync, it would take GW2 out of fullscreen mode and dump me back to the desktop. I had to remove them from the system tray, it’s a pain in the neck.

I’ve checked my firewall, its turned off so it wouldn’t be that. I set gw2.exe to high priority to focus more on the game rather than other applications but i still has the same problem. what else should I try?
Open up task manager next time it minimizes. One of the programs in that list is making gw2 minimise. Try turning off the unessentail ones 1 at a time to figure out which one it is
