How to fix tabbing out in CS:GO with a dual monitor setup

Oh, the classic dual monitor dilemma in CS:GO! Here's a trick that works like charm: go into your game settings and switch CS:GO to 'Windowed Fullscreen' mode instead of just 'Fullscreen'. This should keep the game running on one screen while you seamlessly alt-tab to the other. Sure, it might slightly affect performance, but hey, it’s better than accidentally leaving the game at a crucial moment!

Had the same issue with my setup. Changing CS:GO to 'Windowed Fullscreen' helped a lot. Also, make sure your primary monitor is set to the one you play CS:GO on. It doesn't completely eliminate the issue but makes it way more manageable.

Just unplug the second monitor lol. Problem solved.

Not sure why everyone suggests 'Windowed Fullscreen'. Just use software to lock your cursor to one screen while gaming. Check out Cursor Lock or Dual Monitor Tools. They're life savers and you can keep the game on 'Fullscreen' for better performance.
