Witcher 3 keeps minimizing itself when I start it. (Fullscreen)
So, I recently got a new rig and purchased The Witcher 3 season pass, getting the GOTY edition on my GOG library. Been playing for some weeks perfectly and now, out of nowhere, this issue described in the thread's name happens.
I looked it up and apparently this is due to some app stealing focus, but what I find weird is that it's only happening to Witcher 3, with all other games working perfectly fine in fullscreen. As soon as the game starts, it minimizes itself and if I click on the icon to bring the window back up, it quickly minimizes itself again. I don't recall installing anything else and a look at the program's installed reveal nothing new that wasn't already there when I played it without issues. I found out I'm able to play in borderless mode just fine, but I'd still prefer to keep it fullscreen and I'd like to find out the reason for this sudden problem.
I did some more research and apps meant to find programs stealing focus either don't work or don't reveal nothing of note (one particular little tool I found here http://www.happydroid.com/focus says that there's no "no foreground application" everytime I try to bring Witcher 3's window back up).
The game is clearly working fine, but for some reason Windows won't let me keep it's window open unless it's borderless.
The only thing I know I did was update Nvidia's drivers, could that be related to the problem? I'm running the game on a GTX 1060 6GB, on Windows 10 from an SSD.
I guess I could get used to borderless, but I'd sure appreciate any help.
EDIT: Oh yeah, also, I don't use GOG Galaxy.
