You comment led me down another rabbit hole: I don’t have that setting in my control panel, and apparently am missing several whole sections. An extra detail: I’m using a laptop with both integrated and discrete graphics. I tried launching a game and seeing if more settings would show up, but that didn’t seem to work. Apparently they are only consistent with an attached monitor.

This has been working so far! Thanks for the suggestion. (I’ve had the same problem in more than 1 game).

I’ll give it a try. I’ve seen as a solution to multiple problems, so probably a good tool to learn.

Thanks. I think this it best general answer (don’t solve my specific problem, but for sure answers how to best get help.)

I’ve tried every key combo I could think of, and it didn’t seem to help. However I started using super-D to swap workspaces instead, and I have not hit the problem so far.

From my many decades of windows gaming, I always run in borderless window mode if I think I need/want to tab out.

I’m running on a laptop, but it’s fairly high end: 13th gen i9, 4070, 64GB of RAM, and only a SSD.

I’ll give it a try. I’ve seen as a solution to multiple problems, so probably a good tool to learn.
