Games randomly ALT+Enter themselves....

I have been playing games like Crossout, GTAV, Cyberpunk, Dead Rising 3, GTA Vice City, Dying Light 2, and a few others which ALL at random Alt+Enter on their own.

Older games, not an issue because they aren't using much of my rig so it's a seamless transition but newer more demanding games take a minute to adjust leaving me with a black screen in the mean time.

After that the button hints between controller and keyboard are fighting for control. It acts like a stuck key while I'm gaming but nothing is actually stuck. Unplugging the keyboard and controller do nothing. I have to restart the game.

Your computer is more than adequate to run the games now and well into the future, so that's not the issue at all.


I'd investigate some underlying driver issue. Either with propitiatory keyboard software (if installed), the controller software (if installed) or the GPU driver.

vSync can be problematic. I always turn that off.

It sounds massively GPU related. Maybe roll back the driver, mess with its settings or (if not updated) update the GPU driver.

Are you using anything else with the games? Something that creates its own overlay over the game or perhaps interacts with the games in some fashion?


Off topic

My grandma called the remote the clicker. LOL

It can't be the GPU itself because it also did this with my 6900xt that I upgraded from. Maybe it's an AMD driver issue?

I don't use Vsync but I do use the adrenaline software Enhanced Sync option. With Dead Rising 3 I have to use vsync because going over 99fps causes the game to be very buggy after unlocking the 30fps cap.

I chose Clicker because my buddy chose to make his email address "Get.a.pencil" and I think Clicker is better than remote. 😂

I don't sit near the keyboard while gaming. But maybe my keyboard is having hardware issues?

Well I tried disabling it with regedit but that didn't take. The WIN key still works I mean.
