Hi @Aravo
Do you have any kind of overlay enabled? Discord, Steam, Nvidia… Check if any of these are enabled, restart and try again :slight_smile:

I had disabled Discord and Steam overlays but I had forgotten about Nvidia’s. Seems to have done the trick, I could play 2 games without issues. Thank You !
