Games will crash on start or randomly when playing causing a major issue. The game will cover the whole desktop no matter what window is selected rendering the desktop useless. If I alt+tab to the desktop it will select it as normal but the game image still covers the whole screen besides the taskbar. Any other applications like the program manager can be selected but wont show up on the screen, it only shows the frozen game. ALT + F4 doesnt change anything and neither does attempting to close the program from the task bar. So far I've found the only way to close the frozen game is to wait long enough for a pop-up window to state the program is no longer responding and click end or to restart. Is there other ways of closing a program besides what I mentioned earlier? Also, for some reason the windows key still works allowing me to change from desktop to the apps page but the desktop still only shows the same frozen game.

Have your tried Crtl + Alt + Delete to open the task manager and ending the task?
It would bring that pop up window faster and clicking Cancel (at least for me) pretty must Insta-Closes it
