game minimizes itself every 5 minutes(1)Category: Technical SupportJune-18-2014 4:54 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Have had this issue for well over a month. Normally I just change my Display to windowed to prevent it from happening. However, I would rather just solve the problem all together, as it is happening in nearly every game of mine while in Fullscreen (other blizzard games and steam games). I use Windowed mode as a band-aid fix.

No, I am not accidentally hitting the window key or accidentally hitting alt-tab. I can walk away from my computer and come back to seeing the desktop screen with my game minimized.

I use one monitor, but have hooked my TV up as a second monitor for fun. I have since removed that and believe I changed all the settings back to 1 monitor. Perhaps my computer is still thinking there are 2?

I use Windows 8.1 and even tried to watch which program is taking the focus away, by viewing the event logs. I thought it was "HHCTRL" or something, but I no longer see that and the problem continues to persist.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Wootytooty,

Try booting in selective startup once and playing like that for a little while and see if it happens again. If it doesn't, one of the apps no longer starting was the one taking focus. You'd then need to re-enable the programs and re-test to see which one it is.
