    I just had my screen minimize itself while racing twice in the last two days. I have never had this happen to me in this game or any other game before yesterday and it has only happened in this game. The screen comes back when I click on the minimized icon but it's ruined two races for me. My AMD graphics driver is 2 weeks old and I have Windows update turned off so I don't think anything changed recently Any Ideas?.

    Are you running with full screen, windowed or borderless graphics setting?

    I'm running in full screen mode. I checked the events log and found a lot of windows and visual studio errors. I'm running windows update now. I don't remember the exact times so its hard to find something in the logs but I know what to do now if it happens again.

    Thanks for the help.

    I had similar issue years ago, some third party window was showing up for split second (had to record desktop and check video to even notice). Cant say for sure, but i think it was some gpu soft (for controlling fans, leds etc)
