Greetings,

A new version of Malwarebytes was released today, please install it to see if it resolves the issue.  To do so, launch Malwarebytes and navigate to Settings>Application and click on the Install Application Updates button and allow it to download and install the update.  Once it completes, verify that the version numbers shown below match your own installation under Settings>About in Malwarebytes:

Once that is complete, restart your system to verify that the new components are loaded into memory and then test to see if the issue is resolved.  If it is not, then it is possible that the game you are playing is connecting to servers that Malwarebytes is blocking, causing notifications to be displayed from the tray which are interrupting your game and causing it to tab out of full screen.  To check, you may disable notifications under Settings>Application in the Notifications section.  Just toggle the Show Malwarebytes notifications in the Windows System Tray to Off and test to see if the issue is now resolved.

If it is and you don't want the servers to be blocked then you may add your game's executable to Malwarebytes Exclusions list by going to Settings>Exclusions and using the Exclude an Application that Connects to the Internet option described under the section with the same title located on this page, exclude any game executables that need to connect to the game servers so that they will no longer be blocked.

Please let us know how it goes and if the issue is resolved or if it still persists.

Thanks
