    Ok I have never had this problem before and I cant find anything on the web about it. When I am in a game or watching a movie or something else in full screen mode, it sends me back to the desktop every hour on the hour. I tried disabling the automatic time sync but that didn’t work I am at a complete loss:confused: . As I cannot think of anything that would cause this if anyone has any suggestions would be :D GREATLY:D appreciated

    Jason1701 - Welcome to the Board :)

    My only thought at present is ....

    Do you have a scheduled task running on the hour every hour? Could be AV update or .... ?
