So, just this week I have run into an issue when I alt tab out of wow to either check Discord or search something on google (wowhead, warcraft logs, etc). When I do, sometimes the game momentarily freezes up and then the resolution is just awful. The whole game is blurry, text is completely messed up, and I have to restart the entire game to fix it. I have heard that I can switch to windowed mode and back to full and that can also fix it, but I would like to see a more permanent solution.

Also wanted to mention I did a little research of my own and have seen other posts on the general forum of people having this same issue.
I suffer from the freeze, but no problems with the resolution. It’s not all the time, but once or twice per day.
This happens to me often too. A crash when maximizing from alt-tab and then a messed up resolution I always have to relog. This has been happening since the launch of TWW. Have had this happen on 2 different laptops but not my PC. Possibly something to do with how a laptop handles integrated/dedicated gpu, I’m not sure. There was discussion about rolling back to a specific windows update in some other thread but I tried that and the issue still persisted.
