Yeah it still does it but it's way quicker now, Before it would go to desktop for at least 10 seconds now it's a split second. W10 is just getting worse, I have been an insider since the start and every release it just worse, I'm doing an image now and going back to w7 and might stick to GW2 on linux.

Drecien.4508 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm having the same issue since the April update to windows (yesterday). Flashing when I click login for guild wars. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6gb here. Also when I Alt + TAB to get over to Dulfy or anything else it has a terrible stutter/lag with the flashing.

If you go to settings>system>focus assist and turn it all off, it does it much quicker now instead of sitting there for 10 seconds or so on the desktop. Great workaround. Helps alot! You rock~!

Disabling the focus assistant didn't do a thing for me. Still flashes to the desktop on loading screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maulclaw.4365 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I suppose there's nothing but to deal with it. It's not a huge issue, only happens here and there and it's during loading screens. It won't affect your performance or anything like that. I have the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather.4823 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hopefully Anet will add a fix for this as its only GW affected and obviously a few of us are affected and the Win 10 April update has not even been rolled out to all yet so more will be affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firely.9043 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Got the same issue too , it worked flawless before the windows upgrade but now is flashing on loadinG screen Nvidia GTX1060 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chay.7852 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Same issue here too after i got the update yesterday. Its just annoying :/ - is it only Nvidia btw ? (GTX 1060 here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastermindjb.9582 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 No someone above mentioned they had an AMD card. +1 here as well on this. Only been happening since the Win10 April update for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr.4568 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I am having the exact same issue since the latest windows update. I also have an Nvidia card but even putting the latest Nvidia driver in has not changed this. Bloody windows issue as usual. Like GW2 they need to leave it alone if it aint broke (Kid has the same issue on his rig as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside.7931 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 i beeen having the same issue since the last windows updae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam.3258 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Similar issue on an i5 with an Nvidia GTX 970. The loading screen shows while loading, then it flicks to desktop, before briefly showing the loading screen again and finally showing my character and the zone instance. If I move to a different zone, it does the same thing, except it also shows a small, title-bar only window in the top-left corner of the desktop. It has a small Guild Wars 2 icon, "Guild Wars 2" as the title, and a close-button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martimus.6027 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It has happened to me too, twice last night. I thought maybe my "windows" key was sticky or sticking or something (NOT REMOTELY WHAT I MEANT!) but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uden Reavstone.3426 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It's started happening to me since the Windows 10 update the other day. I think that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Sadly, after the latest Windows update, this started happening to me too . . . again. Even with nothing else running, it'll alt-tab to the desktop. And, of course, it happens at the worst possible times. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chay.7852 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Its a "Feature" that came with the big april-update for Windows 10 (not sure about the other versions)... very annoying :/ and it has been discussed here [https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/38377/game-flashing-desktop-on-loading-screens#latest](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/38377/game-flashing-desktop-on-loading-screens#latest "https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/38377/game-flashing-desktop-on-loading-screens#latest") as well. There is a way to shorten the time you see the desktop (it is mentioned in the thread) but afaik no way to remove it completely yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically it only happens once per login. Has anyone else been experiencing this lately as well? I've completely formatted my computer and everything but no change. It's kind of annoying but luckily it doesn't happen much. Been happening to me too, maybe for about a month or so, but only usually once per login as you mentioned. I don't normally have any other major software open or running in the background either (like steam, browser pages, etc). The thing I have running (aside from Windows 10 processes), is F.lux (a screen filter thing, but it pauses when a game/full screen thing is running), and I've been using the same version of that long before this started happening. My Nvidia drivers are up to date, and I've tried a couple of roll backs incase it was those, but didn't seem to effect anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 As stated above Steam's a good example but if an app is set to notify it might alt-tab you out. Have you checked the apps that are set to notify in Windows since these could in some cases also trigger the alt-tab. Have had friends run into this before and one was Steam, another was anti-malware software scans running in the background and one had a schedule tasks that was kicking off software updates to some installed apps. If no new apps added would check notifications to make sure one that may have been previously off weren't turned on after an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnClar.1304 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Add me to the list...just started happening with the Win 10 April update. Nvidia GTX 970FTW card. Clearly it has something to do w/ focus assist stuff in W10. I went ahead and put in a support ticket on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drecien.4508 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Some of it could be caused by the windows April update, the focused setting in system seems to bug it alot... turning it can help some... until windows fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
