I've just built a brand new PC, and whenever I'm playing games, it keeps randomly tabbing me out to the desktop. It's super frustrating, and I haven't been able to find a solution online. Has anyone experienced this and knows how to fix it?

I totally get your pain! It happens to me too sometimes, and it’s really annoying—especially when the screen goes black. I think in my case, it might be a resolution issue since I play on stretched settings.
It sounds like a rogue input device could be causing this. Sometimes a keyboard might have a stuck key that sends spamming keystrokes. Just double-check that you aren’t accidentally hitting Alt + Tab while playing. Some games really struggle to resume rendering after Windows grabs focus back.
I do use Alt + Tab for Spotify and Discord, but it never did this on my old PC. I just got a new keyboard, so I'll clean it up after work and see if that helps. It's been happening more often lately.
