Game randomly alt-tabbing

[A Simple Cheeseburger]

So something that has been happening to me recently is that I will be playing the game like normal and I will just suddenly go to my desktop, as if I have alt tabbed. And now that the alt tab feature doesn't stop your tuck, I'm worried that I might alt tab and hit someone. I have also noticed that out of game I will suddenly go to my desktop, doesn't matter what I'm doing. I also notice that when this happens notepad opens for less than a second then closes.

Should I just delete notepad?

Sounds like an Virus Infection to me!

Do you Virus scan your computer.

It can be happening by a virus or windows updates. But as I know, some people gets it because of some update programs that start working at the start. So disabling them will work. Check if you have some office onenote or java or any update program working.

Dang. Might just have to do a clean install of windows again then

You can keep this program open and see which software do that alt-tabbing: http://www.happydroid.com/focus Keep it open and play until you get auto alt-tabbed, then you see which did it.

Do you have a reputable antivirus installed?  Run a full scan on your PC.  Also run a scan with Malwarebytes https://www.malwarebytes.com/ and see if you have any malware

I had the same issue once, no viruses on my computer but once I restarted the computer the problem went away. *I think it finished some Window's updates with the restart as well*

Are you using double monitors?

That not must be a virus, because some programs "alt-tabing" games. Just try switch off any programs working in background. Programs like Overwolf, Nvidia Experience or antivirus.

I have anti virus software but when I did a full scan it came up with nothing.

I'll try the programs that you guys suggested and see what Happens
