With different games this happens randomly. Sometimes 10 minutes after I start the game, sometimes 2 hours later. It happens multiple times in long sessions. If the game is in fullscreen, it gets minimized but no other program gets the focus. It just minimizes to desktop.
Recently I tried borderless windowed mode in a game, the losing focus thing still happens but instead of getting minimized to desktop it just flashes black and I momentarily lose control of the game, then it's restored like in a split second. In some older games I even lose the controller and I have to restart the game after unplugging and plugging the controller again. The native resolution of my laptop is 2560x1440. I'm running the game in 1080p. I usually run games with Discord and sometimes Google Chrome in the background but I tried nothing in the background too apart from things I can't turn off like Steam and Microsoft Security (I can probably turn that off but I don't think it's causing the problem, so I didn't try that.) This happens with old games and new games, so it's not like my specs aren't enough. My gpu drivers are up-to-date. My cpu is Intel i7-11800H, gpu is Nvidia RTX 3070 and ram is 16 gb.
