    Assassin's creed Origins - minimizes at launch of the game

    I don't know if other have the same problem but my problem is that each time i try to launch the game, it minimize and when I click on the icon I get one sec with black screen and music and it minimize again.
    I know that the game is still running of the sound and the icon on the windows bar.

    So I know the game is running (not crashed or whatsoever) but i can't play it. I can't access the game.

    This problem occurred for 1 day ago.

    The last thing I updated was the graphic driver, which I did 4 days ago. I have been able to play the game perfectly until yesterday so I don't think that it is the the graphic driver.
    I have also tried to reinstall the driver via "geforce Experience"-app

    Other game like: Diablo 3, Watch Dogs work fine.

    I don't know how to fix this! Please help me UbiSoft

    Greetings

    I had this issue, but the culprit was my anti virus. Everytime it started an update or did some scan the game would minimize. But, it fixed itself.

    I too have this issue

    The game was originally running just fine, and since a week now I too have this same issue. The only thing that has changed in the last week was a windows update, and an Nvidia driver update. I have rolled back the driver but this made no difference. Reinstalling the game also had no affect. Right now I am unable to play the game at all, and have sent a support ticket to Ubisoft. If anyone knows the root cause please be so kind as to share.

    Possible fix: disable GeForce Experience overlay

    I had the same problem where the game keeps alt-tabbing/minimizing. The problem for me seems to be fixed by disabling the in-game overlay of NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Might be worth a try.

    As it's seemed to work for sambalbij18 thus far, we would advise disabling the in-game overlay of NVIDIA GeForce Experience and letting us know what comes of it.

    Same issue

    I just started having this issue... I don't have any overlays enabled (even GeForce experience)... I've tried to copy my config file to a backup file then delete the original... Fresh start and all, but same result.

    Would appreciate help.

    It's not Nvidia. I've got an AMD RX 480 with the same issue. Game does not progress past the medical warning and keep minimizing when you click on the icon.

    Definitely seems to be an issue after the latest Windows u[date
