Hello.

If I attempt to click the PWI icon on the taskbar it gets focus, maximizes as it's supposed too then minimizes once more.

Thank you for your swift reply. I have already done that and the problem remains.
This problem has only been occurring after I formatted my Hard Drive, reinstalled Windows and installed the latest version of PWI. This problem did not exist previously before I upgraded to PWI Genesis.

Problem resolved. Thank you for your help.
At times I open various software programs after I open or begin to play PWI such as Thunderbird to send and receive emails.
I was opening a different third party program and that was the cause of the conflict. I probably should have been able to figure that out. b:laugh Thanks anyway.

Glad you got it figured out!
Some ALT+Tab issues occur when your system has too many processes running. Running the game in windowed mode can often help.Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
