Hi after the halloween patch, gw2 alt-tabs out to the desktop every 1-2mins for me, essentially making game unplayable. Upon the alt-tab, there seems to be a 0.5s of resizing of the desktop window, then back to normal size, albeit looking like a screen resolution change, but not.

I even went to buy a NEW graphic card costing $120 as my previous one was a bit old(even though i ran the game on the old card fine for 3weeks++ since i bought it).

if it’s alt+tabbing on it’s own it sounds as if there is some process running that is causing it to do that. Sometimes when you are in an application and the system or another application tries to alert to something it will alt+tab automatically. AV programs will sometimes do this as will Firewall alerts. Do you have anything else running, perhaps a background app?
