Mouse clicks out of maximized Skyrim window and minimizes

[Elementroar]

I'm not sure why it's suddenly like this but, basically I run Skyrim fullscreen but recently the normal mouse cursor would appear constantly at the top lefthand corner, and if I click there, the whole game minimizes. I alt+tab back but it would usually take several times before it maximizes fully, if at all. It's gotten worse as even though I'm far away from the corners or edges of the screen, it would still register a click 'out' of the Skyrim window and minimize it.

 

Sometimes it acts as if I'm clicking on the edge of the window and the whole game will freeze for as long as I hold the mouse button. Also sometimes when the minimize bug occurs, I see the Skyrim window moved to off screen and than I alt+tab it back to full screen.

 

The windowed mode option is not checked. I don't know why it's suddenly doing this but all the random minimizing is really making it near impossible to play the game.

 

The only things that I think could cause this is a) I tried using Simple Borderless Window at one point but stopped since it didn't benefit me. Some leftover code from that might still be causing Skyrim to play in 'windowed' mode even though I already changed the .ini settings back. b) I stopped using the ENB patched .dll file as I thought I wouldn't need it anymore with 1.4.27 Skyrim + the Unofficial Skyrim Patch. I don't get CTDs, but the .dll might have helped keep Skyrim maximized.

 

Does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah I got the same problem also a couple of weeks ago, and have yet to find a fix.

 

EDIT: I was able to fix this problem, if you have raptr running turn it off before playing Skyrim that should fix the problem like it did for me.

I also experience this problem on a fairly consistent basis and have not been able to nail down the cause. On fresh startups of Skyrim I cannot get it to happen even after I alt-tab / remaximize several times. The cursor always appears in the top left corner and clicking to swing a weapon or cast a spell causes the game to minimize. I can alt-tab right back into it, but this causes certain problems sometimes and also interrupts my game flow. I don't know what "Raptr" is, so there is nothing for me to disable on that end. I assume some kind of mouse tracking program. I run single monitor, usually playing the game maximized. Tried a few different screen settings, resolutions, full screen / semi-full windowed, still screws up for me.

 

Any help would be much appreciated. A bit of info:

 

Running Skyrim 1.4.27

Using Unreal Cinema ENB

Script Dragon / SKSE

 

Haven't found any info on those mods that mention this as a known bug, but I figure those are the only ones that 'could' potentially cause something wonky. The rest is just crap like armor textures.

??? Skyrim 1.4.27 ???, what is this?, do you have some unnoficial patch or something like this?, the more last version of skyrim is 1.4.26.5, for your problem, try to make a validation of your game cache by steam, they will look if you have some problem with the file of the game, and i am not sure but try to disable the enb, it's have giving some hard time to some people...

 

 

EDIT : ok, make some look and i think you use a thing like unnoficial patch, try to disable it and make a validation of your cache, this file are peharp the problem..., but i have not tested this mod (so i am not sure...

Thank you so much! This was happening on Fallout 3 as well and was driving me crazy! Thought it was a SKSE bug or something but cheers this has helped a lot!
