    Are your drivers up to date? Are you running anything in the background that has pop-up alerts such as programs asking for administrator permissions?

    Edit: As a side note/temporary fix for CS:GO you can change your game window to borderless window, which I believe may help:

    • Right click on the game in your Steam Browser and select Properties.
    • Choose "Set Launch Options"
    • There, enter this: -sw -noborder

    Yeah sounds like something is interfering in the background making your game minimize. Unless I am reading that wrong.
