Next, attempt to open Chrome in Clean Mode to narrow down the issue to a plugin or add-on. To use Clean Mode, right-click on the Chrome icon on your taskbar and click “Continue running in Clean Mode. ” If that works, disable all add-ons and plugins you don’t need. Make sure your browser is up-to-date as well.
Then play with the settings on the casino site. Reduce your graphics settings or turn off hardware acceleration. Go to the game settings and see how they work. If the issue remains, make sure the casino has not provided a “full screen” option.
Similarly, update Windows 10 to the most recent version by running Windows Update. If that doesn’t help, try using Firefox or the new Microsoft Edge browser to see if the problem is unique to Chrome. In most cases, one of these solutions should eliminate your alt-tab headaches.
Alt-tab crashes are most likely due to the game/browser not properly handling lost focus. Disable GPU acceleration in Chrome (Settings > System). Run some games in compatibility mode – try Chrome run as administrator, or setting it to run in compatibility mode for older Windows versions. Close unnecessary programs. If it’s a game, ask the developers for help.
So, alt-tab crashes in online casino games are a result of Chrome’s and the game client’s focus-loss behaviors. Update Chrome and your graphics card’s drivers first, as GPU drivers control how images are rendered on-screen. Then, right click anywhere on the desktop, go to Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings > Troubleshoot > Change Settings > Hardware Acceleration, and lower this value. Disable all browser extensions when playing; many are adware or contain scripts, and they interfere with games. For example, check 888 Casino’s support page: certain games require IE Compatibility mode or Adobe Flash settings. Finally, try other browsers; Firefox or Edge might not have the same issue.
