Something minimizes my full screen windows media player while watching movie. Any ideas?

Posted by leviathan on Dec 22, 2011

Strange one. Lately I noticed that when I'm watching films in full screen mode, after 15-20 or so minutes, the player gets back to normal mode (default resolution, not full screen) by itself. Pretty annoying as I have to double-click to bring it back to full screen mode a couple of times even for a short tv show episode. It happens on Windows Media Player, as well as Media Player Classic, so it isn't player's fault I think.

Any idea what might cause that? Or any idea how to find which process is exactly doing it?

Level 2 It might be some third party program or service running in the background. Update your drivers, they can be the problem, too.
