Return to Desktop while playing?

Hi, I'm new here, I hope I'm posting in the correct subforum ...

 

I have two questions:

1. As you can see in the attached screenshot, there's an icon in the upper right corner of the game screen ... I know that sounds kinda dump, but I have several mods installed and I don't know what this is. I'd like to know to which mod this icon belongs to, what it means and if i can turn it off (without disabling the mod itself) ...

 

2. I've come to notice that whilst playing, I can't return to the desktop to maybe listen to some music, chat with friends et c. without having to close the game entirely each time. There are, of course, ways to do so, by opening the Task Manager for example, but after this, when I try to return to the game, it just shows me an empty window ... is there a mod (or a setting) that allows me to return to the desktop, do whatever I want to do and continue playing afterwards without quitting the game each and every time? (I don't want to play in windowed mode the whole time) Sorry if this question has been asked several times before ...

 

Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm German ....

 

Thanks in advance :smile:

1) The symbol is something to do with SkyUI. Look through its MCM options and you'll find the setting for it (can't remember what setting it is though)

 

2) You can Alt+Tab between desktop and Skyrim, but for some reason you have to do it twice before Skyrim will respond again. The better option is to set Skyrim to windowed mode and use the following app to force it into what seems to be full screen mode, but allowing you to Alt+Tab without problems...

If for some reason that app doesn't work for you there's another one...

EDIT: Forgot to mention if you have 2 mouse cursors (Windows and Skyrim) then try the following app to fix the problem...

I already found out how to disable it (thanks to your lead), but thanks anyway :)

 

The alt+tab methode works perfectly (I truely forgot about that, shame on me), maybe I'll try the mods you suggested, but for the time being, I guess that'll do ^^
