1. How to keep a game running in the background

   Some games w/e I alt-tab out, the game completely stops all rendering and sound

   Right now I want to stream Friday Night Funkin'

   It's a music game, so it's really awkward when tabbing out and everything just stops

   It's really annoying when making sure the stream is ok because it freezes up so there is nothing to see in OBS but a still frame, and then I can't check to see if the sound and my mic are ok because all of that stops too!

   I know I can open this game up in a browser, but it's not the only game that has this happen

   This happens with ARK, Night in the Woods, Watch Dogs, Middle Earth, Borderlands and many other games that aren't available on a browser

   How do I find a fix for all the games that keep freezing up when alt-tabbed

2. Games won't launch and run in background.

   Hi,

   Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

   Please do let us know with the following information for better assistance:

   • What exactly do you mean by games does not run in the background?
   • Which are the games you are trying to launch?
   • Were you able to see any error code/ error notification while trying to launch the game?
   • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

   
   I would like to inform that the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x86,
   usually occupy 1 GB of the storage space.

   I suggest you to run disk cleanup to free the memory: Free up drive space in Windows 10
   and check.

3. Background applications

   Hi Robert,

   We understand that you don't want some apps to run on the background of your computer. What we suggest is to
   control which apps are allowed to run in the background. To see which apps have permission, just follow the below steps:

   • Open the Start menu or Start screen and select "Settings."
   • Click or tap the "Privacy" icon in the Settings.
   • Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select "Background apps."
     
   • You'll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an "On/Off" toggle.

   Just bear in mind that, apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in
   the background.

   Feel free to update us with the results.

4. How to keep a game running in the background

   Wanting to run old games

   Hi Jameson,

   Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

   I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

   Explore Windows 10 OS, Computers, Apps, & More | Microsoft

   You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
   Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

   • • • • 
           Right-click on the game setup file and click on
           'properties'.
           
         • 
           Click on the 'compatibility' tab and check the box
           'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
           

   If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it's specific to that particular game.

   Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
