Ok ive tried following this guide

https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/preventing-game-windows-from-minimizing/?ID=ab5ec329-4190-4dff-8d63-e9b5f611656e

seems the top workaround isnt in my version (newest pro version bought via steam)

Im trying to use triggers , i can set game filepath in trigger such as D:\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\bf1.exe and create trigger.

I can also create a delay however as for the run function (prevent window deactivation) i have no idea. I assumed it would be under the ADD tab but its not. please help

oh and ive also looked here but i assume i must be missing something?

nvm found it

although it doesnt work in bf1 :/ unless im doing something wrong?

ok after looking at the forums i see my start time was too short so i set it to 1 minute , still no joy in BF1 , because i have bf1 on my mechanical drive and not my ssd it takes an age to load into a map , i hear the activation whoosh as its loading , i tried to set the activation time to 2 minutes but it wont stick , when i click ok it goes back to 60000? Is there any way of increasing it past 1 minute?

Yes I tried that . I assigned it to a mum pad key . I can hear the whoosh after bf1 has loaded . I then press ESC to get into the bf1 menu I can then move my cursor to the second monitor. As soon as I click anywhere in that momitor the game minimises on the other monitor? I tested Witcher 3 and it kind of worked . I had a working cursor on both monitors , the game would respond and a cursor would move and operate the other monitor at the same time without minimising the game but my keyboard wouldn't work in game Not sure if I'm doing something g wrong? :/
