Does the issue still happen for you, and if it does, does it still happen when you close DisplayFusion?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219#4 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 20:30:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219#4 DisplayFusion Ok, one of the guys here has a copy of FFXIV, so we'll give this a test and see if ours behaves the same. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219#3 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 19:30:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219#3 DisplayFusion Both Final Fantasy XIV and The Witcher 3 exhibit this behavior. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219#2 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:55:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219#2 DisplayFusion I haven't come across this. What games does this happen with for you? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 17:51:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/directx-11-games-do-not-minimize/?ID=f3b4bacd-9b3d-40e9-b182-d237bff12219 DisplayFusion With more and more games coming out using DX11 I've noticed that if I tab out of a game it doesn't minimize to the taskbar and is treated like I turned on "Prevent Window Deactivation".

Is this normal behavior? Sometimes I need to get to the desktop behind the game and am unable to.

Thanks! ]]>
