ALT + TAB Gamerestart

    Literally EVERY single time i ALT-Tab out of the game i get kicked from the Lobby and the game restarts when i ALT-Tab back into it...
    I searched some old threads but there were no solutions to be found. I use a second Monitor, but that never seems to be a problem for other games.
    As a matter of fact, back when i first started playing SoT this "Bug" did not happen. It only came later on, out of nowhere, when i suddenly just kept getting kicked every time i tried to Alt-Tab...

    Pls help! This is very very annoying and game-disrupting.
    I love this game, but this makes it very frustrating to play.

    Sounds like the game isn't running in the background and you get disconnected. Try these steps.

    Allow Sea of Thieves to run in the background

    1/ To fix this problem, first, make sure that Sea of Thieves and all other background services on your computer are closed.
    2/ Then press Windows + R to bring up the Run dialog box. In the text box, type ms-settings:privacy-backgroundapps and press Enter. This will open the Background Applications window in your computer’s Settings application.
    3/ When the “Background Applications” window appears, enable the applications in the background by setting the button under “Keep applications running in the background” to “ON”. This will allow all applications on your computer to run in the background when you minimize them or when they are not in use.
    4/ After that, scroll down the list of apps and navigate to where the Sea of Thieves game is located.
    5/ Make sure the button is set to the “ON” position.
    6/ After confirming, you can go back and open the game again to see if the problem has been successfully resolved.
