[quote="Zappologist"]Necropants, just wanted to say that I am on Windows 7 yet I also have this annoying issue with games minimising themselves randomly.
It's been there for a while, maybe 6 months or so, and I cannot determine a pattern or find a cure.
But definitely not linked to Windows 10.
If I had to bet, I'd say drivers, or maybe even more likely Steam, somehow.[/quote]
This suggests you have some program or service stealing focus from your games. Normally the way to troubleshoot this would be to do a clean boot, and use process monitor and Task manager to trace what process is doing it.
However in windows 10 I have gone through this and not found any culprit.
Lohan, Notice there is no longer and option in NCP to choose when the display is in 3D mode. It's been moved to windows advanced display settings and you only get an option or on or off.
It's not too late to roll back ;)

This is the plan if this issue persists. But since I did two steps at once (switch of OS and Nvidia driver update) I just want to make sure that the issue is not driver related. So I rolled back to 362.00 this morning. Now I am fresh out of a nearly 3 hour session with Rise of the Tomb Raider and I am happy to say I didn't get the black screen issue during this session. Yesterday with the newest driver I got the black screen every time I launched Tomb Raider (after varying time periods).
So for now I am tending to believe the issue is just driver related so no need to roll back to Win7 atm. If the issue kicks in again I will instantly switch back to Win7!

2 annoying issues i found on windows 10 (tried several drivers version which worked on windows 7 but have the following issues on windows 10):
- Sonic and Sega all stars racing Transformed has a black eye in 3d vision (only one eye rendering)
- Several applications with no 3d vision profile where 3d used to kick in when launching in W7 don't have 3d activating anymore in W10...only plain 2D (i tried a lot of stuff like assigning exe to an existing profile, using ctrl+t several times...nothing works)
has any of you ran into similar issues ? found a fix? thanks!

Never had an issue here. What are one or two of those several applications?
The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.
ok sorry for 2nd statement. i found out that i was not pointing to the right exe (launcher vs game) when adding the game to existing profiles. What is strange though is that under w7 directx apps were triggering 3d vision automatically, under w10 it seems they need to be assigned to a profile to make this work. anyway this one is sorted.
the only issue remaining is that sonic all stars transformed is not working in 3d vision (1 eye rendering only the other one remaining black...). It's not due to the prototype profile since i use it for other games that work perfectly fine...strange.
EDIT : i tried to attach the game exe to several profiles but every time i get the one eye rendering only bug. the only way to avoid that is to not attach the game to any profile, then 3d kicks in fine but the fix does not work anymore (ie lots of shaders broken)
