Often users switches between windows in the operating system, which is happening even during the game. However, situations occur when the game is simply not folded. There are several reasons why it can happen. Next, we will talk about all of them to help each user cope with this problem. All further actions will be demonstrated in the latest version of Windows 10.
Method 1: Restart Explorer
The first one in the queue is the easiest and easily suitable in those situations where the situation in question arises rarely and concerns all running programs, including games. Its essence is the banal restart of the conductor so that it restore its normal work, because this component is responsible for interacting with windows. Refer to another material on our website by clicking on the link below to learn about all methods for implementing this task and be aware of how to do in such cases.

Method 2: Start in Compatibility Mode
If you are faced with the difficulty in question only when playing an old application, for example, which was released ten years ago, it is likely that it does not turn out due to poor compatibility with the new OS. This is corrected by activating the corresponding mode.
- Lay the executable file or the game label, click on it right-click and select "Properties" in the context menu.
- In the window that opens, move to the Compatibility tab.
- Here, check the box near the "Run the program in compatibility mode".
- Open the pop-up list and select the appropriate option.
- You can still try to configure and additional parameters by checking them in parallel to the game.
If the settings are suitable, leave them and pass the game. Otherwise, they are better to return to the standard position so that in the future it does not have a negative impact on the application of the application.
Method 3: Checking the game mode on the keyboard
Now, many users acquire special game keyboards or laptops, in which there are a number of additional functions activated by pressing on the key combination. Often there is a built-in option on such devices, which allows you to disconnect the Win key in the games to accidentally not press it. Some do not even know about it and think that the problem is something more serious, so we recommend viewing the keyboard for the presence of a combination that includes such a mode and disable it if it is necessary. An example of the location of this combination you see in the image.
Method 4: Installing the Standard Theme
This option concerns only those users who via the "Personalization" menu manually changed the topic of the operating system by loading it from the available sources. Most often, precisely such changes in the appearance lead to problems with folding games. You can check this and correct only by setting the standard theme, which is carried out like this:
- Open "Start" and go to "Parameters".
- Here you are interested in the "Personalization" section.
- Through the left panel, go to the category "Topics".
- After that, it remains only to specify one of the standard and save changes.
Now it is recommended to restart the computer so that all changes entered into force. After that, then launch the necessary game and check whether the situation was solved with its folding. If not, in the future the topic can be returned back.
Method 5: Disable fast start mode
In Windows 10 there are many different settings for power, including for the buttons responsible for switching on and reboot. There is a special completion parameter that activates the quick start when you next log in. This is achieved through the preservation of part of the information in RAM. Sometimes Ram clogs that entails the appearance of different system errors, including the difficulty with turning the game. We recommend cleaning the entire RAM cache, disconnecting the mentioned mode for a while.
- Open "Start" and go to "Parameters".
- Open the "System" section.
- Through the left panel, move to "Food and Sleep Mode".
- In the category "Related Parameters", click on the "Advanced Power Options" clickel.
- In the new window that opens, click on the "Actions of the Power Buttons" row.
- If the settings are not available now, click on the specially designated inscription to activate them.
- Remove the checkbox from the "Enable Run" item and save the changes.
To apply all changes, you will need to create a new session of the operating system, which is achieved by rebooting. Now you can proceed to check this method for performance. After a few PC reboots, activate the disable fast start parameter in the same way.
Method 6: Setting the latest Windows updates
From time to time Microsoft release updates in which minor errors may be present that affect the overall functioning of Windows 10. Such problems are often corrected immediately or with the release of new updates. It is possible that the problem with folding games is just referring to an unsuccessful update, so we always recommend keeping the OS in the current state, in time to establish all new updates. Read more about this in the articles on the following links, where you will also find instructions for solving difficulties with installing updates.

Method 7: Changing screen settings in the game
Sometimes the event under consideration is observed only in certain applications and is not solved by any of the above methods. Then you should try to change the screen settings directly in the game itself, setting the full screen or display mode in the window. In addition, in each such application there are unique settings, and we cannot tell all of them. Therefore, we recommend changing them for personal preference and check whether it will somehow affect the attempts to turn the game.
Method 8: Checking system for viruses
The last method of our today's article is to verify the system for viruses. This is due to the fact that there are certain malicious files that begin to work as a process when entering the computer. It can have a certain status that makes the correct interaction with other open programs. It will not be easy to detect this threat to this threat, so it's easier to start scanning through a special auxiliary tool.
