![]() ![]() What should I do in this situation? I don't want to have to quit the game to do another quick task, then load the game back up again which takes ages compared to just being able to switch to another window and back again. ![]() I was used to being able to drop a game and leave it minimized while doing other things in windows. Now I'm not a Linux pro, and have been quite happy with my switch to Mint for the last 18 months, but I still have a windows mindset when it comes to computers. I know my pc is powerful enough to handle running a game and doing other light tasks at the same time, it seems the UI in Mint has a few bugs when dealing with full screen games. Ideally it should not mess up the game in the first place if the screen sleeps. I would expect the OS to detect when a full screen app is running and disable the screen from sleeping. I have since set my screen sleep delay to 3 hours to minimize this issue if I get dragged away from a game for a while. Sometimes restarting the game is enough to fix the glitches, but other times only CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will sort it out. If I leave a game running and the screen goes to sleep, upon returning and waking the screen the game will either have crashed or will have horrible performance or graphical glitches. I have used CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to totally kill everything and return me to the login screen in this situation. On rare occasions where a game has hung/crashed I can't even open the system monitor to kill the game as tabbing out or showing desktop doesn't have the desired effect. I tried running in borderless window mode, but some games hate it and windowed mode is ugly. ![]() If I press windows key + D to show the desktop, then I see the desktop, but if I try and click on VLC or anything else from the task bar or start menu then the game just pops back up blocking me from doing anything else. I press ALT + TAB to switch to VLC but the game doesn't minimize, it just loses focus and I cant use VLC because the game is still showing. Say I'm playing a game while listening to music in VLC and I want to change the track or adjust the volume. Click on Library on the bottom-right side.A mild frustration I encounter when playing most (but not all) full screen games is that I can't switch to another window/program as the full screen game just pops back on top stopping me from doing anything other than play the game.To download and install the Media Player app for Windows 11, use these steps: If you want to try the app, the machine must be running Windows 11 build 22504 or higher.
