Battlefield V keeps minimising to the task bar

★★★ Novice

Battlefield V is randomly minimising to my task bar during game play and even when I am waiting to join a game. I have followed the instructions on the Origin help page to clear the cache.
I have no malware or viruses on my PC as it is only used for music production & gaming. This started happening on the last update and the 2nd one before that. The update in between those 2 seemed to stop the problem.
Please help as it is making the game unplayable.

Hi @RootineCzechUp ,

 

There is a suggested workaround from @MADrag0n via @Dreamadv that works for some players. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

 

 Fullscreen game-breaking bug

1. Close Origin and services processes (OriginWebHelperService.exe and OriginClientService.exe).

 

2. Delete all files in 2 folders

"C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"

"C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License"

 

3. Start Origin again

★★ Guide

Hi @RootineCzechUp I had a similar issue and found that my Origin In Game settings were reset. Anytime a friend jumped online or joined a game it would minimize. If the other method mentioned doesn't work check those settings. I turned most of them off and no more minimizing.

Followed the instructions but after 3-4 days the same problem appears again. Now I have done it 3 times! How often will I have to do this?

@knowix2020 if a game updates you are going need to do it. :/

The teams are aware and still being worked on.
