Warframe randomly minimizes

[Constructman]

At random, my game will minimize itself to the desktop (i'm playing on fullscreen). There doesn't seem to be any common underlying cause, but the effect is the same: when i open the window again, the game will freeze and take so long to catch up that I'm either kicked out of the squad or everybody else is. What is going on???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was having that issue about a year or two ago. Normally chat program notifications that popup on the corner of the screen cause your WF to minimize if you click on them so its best to turn them off.

Did you Alt+Tab? If you are, try using Alt+Esc instead or play in Borderless Fullscreen.

Borderless Fullscreen drops the framerate really hard. It also makes everything - chatbox, HUD, etc, really small.

It happens even if I have Skype and Discord closed. And there is no prompting; it just happens.
