you know when you tab out and it takes forever to get back into the game with a black screen for like 5 seconds? this is a windows 10 specific problem with focus assist, all you have to do is search focus assist settings and turn everything off and full screen league will tab back in quick like it used to. just feel like nobody knows how to fix it and just getting more people to be aware

edit: forgot to mention once in focus assist settings the bottom 3 boxes should be checked just uncheck that and everything should be off and back to normal tabbing like a few patches ago. think it was caused by the windows 10 update too that screwed a lot of people

Oh thanks for this! My league had been like that forever and I just sort of accepted it as an annoying fault with the game

Thanks lol

Always hated tabbing out at the start of a game only to hear a friend tell me we're being invaded. Then staring at a black screen as my team gets slaughtered

Thank you. It's so annoying when you have to alt+tab out to adjust your volume settings the first game after an update because you're brutally reminded by the eardrum breaking volume of the initial spawn in. Then you have to wait 20 seconds to get back and stuffs already going down. I'm glad there's a fix.

Thanks! This has been annoying me for a very long time. I think it messes up other games too.

This worked for me initially, but now it's back to taking a while to get back in. I double checked to make sure windows didn't turn it back on and it says it's off. It's incredibly annoying.

Is this Win10 exclusive? I swear back when I was on older versions it had the same problem, maybe it just carried on? Great info btw.
