Ah, the classic alt-tab tango while you're trying to clutch a round. Super annoying, but don't sweat it! First up, try running CS:GO in Borderless Window mode instead of Fullscreen. This mode is a bit more forgiving with alt-tab antics. If that doesn't cut it, check for background applications or notifications that might be stealing focus - looking at you, Windows Update and antivirus pop-ups. Disable or pause these notifications while you're playing. Lastly, updating your graphics drivers can sometimes magically solve this issue, as outdated drivers have been known to cause random minimizations. Hope this helps you stay in-game and top the leaderboard!

Simple fix: disable the Windows key. Nothing ruins a game faster than accidentally hitting that bad boy mid-spray. You can use software like SharpKeys to remap it to something useless while you're playing. Problem solved!

Honestly, just reinstall the game. Fixes pretty much everything.
