What do you mean by 'brings the f*cking desktop'? And are you sure you aren't accidentally clicking elsewhere after clicking the program? If you click on the icon to load the program then click back into what you do were doing it will automatically minimize.

He's saying something is causing it interrupt what he's doing by minimizing the program that's running and just showing the desktop.

Open a bunch of programs, then press Winlogo+D and that's probably what's he's experiencing.

 

This can be caused by a program in the background, turn off all background programs and see if the problem still exist. But to find out which program is causing it, then

you'll have to use the process of elimination.

Certain programs after it's done a update or requires a update will do this. Windows updated does this as well as I remember playing my game and all of a sudden my game minimize and

all I'm look at is my desktop, but Windows update pop reminding me, updated was installed and is nagging for a restart.

You should always keep your operating system updated, regardless of whether your having problems or not. I agree with their hypothesis. You have a program running in the background that wants to be the top priority. Open Windows Task Manager and look for any running processes/services that you don't think are critical to the operating system running properly, as you go along, you'll narrow things down a bit.

 

If this fails and you close a process or service that then creates performance and stability issues, you can always reboot.

 

That's my suggestion.

I had a similar issue after installing the wireless manager for my inbuilt Wifi card on my desktop machine. It's probably something like that causing it. Took me ages to figure out what it was, then when I uninstalled the wireless network manager programme and reverted to the Windows 7 one, it all worked fine.

Always keeps Windows updated, just saying certain programs like Windows update may cause open programs to minimize and just show the desktop.
