Guild Wars minimizes when changing zones

GW Issue 2 copy.jpgThis is a new issue after a large windows 10 update that's made it so whenever I map to other outposts or change zones, the game minimizes to the task bar for roughly 6 seconds showing my wallpaper every time.

Previous to the update, zone and outpost loading was almost instant with zero minimizing. Has anyone else experiences anything like this before?

Yep I have, and no idea why 😂

Just out of curiosity, was it after a windows 10 update? Specifically 1083? This is the one that did it for me and it caused a few other problems as well.

Had the same problem, fixed it by just setting the game on "Windowed Fullscreen" at the drop-down list under Options - Graphics - Resolution. This is also optimal as it lets u alt-tab in and out of the game seamlessly. Hope it helps.

Worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
