Problem details: When alt-tab the screen goes black for a few seconds which is really annoying. Cant find any solutions. The card is 2080Ti if it helps.


Video or screenshot showing the problem: The problem doesnt show in the record for some reason

if anything about your display mode is changed when switching windows, your monitor will go black momentarily to apply those changes. this is most commonly a change in resolution or refresh rate, so make sure your resolution in osu! is set to the same as your desktop. this can also happen on laptops with "NVIDIA Advanced Optimus" due to the GPU switching behavior. you can alternatively use borderless windowed mode but this will likely increase video latency

what ive realised its that osu! switching to the window mode once i alt-tab and go back into fullscreen once i go back in osu! It wasnt like that until like one month ago. Answering to one more question above it happens with all of the resolutions and all of the skins
