SOLVED:PCSX2 keeps minimizing window on pause screen

[DankDarrian]

Just as the description states for some reason whenever the pause screen is initiated though launchbox/bigbox only on pcsx2 this causes the window for that emulator to minimize from its original fullscreen. Does anyone have a solution to stop this from happening? Is this a setting that needs to be configured in launcbox or pcsx2?

Is there a Windowed/Full Screen setting? Try the opposite.

I tried reversing the windowed/Full Screen setting on PCSX2 and nothing changed it still minimizes the game on pause.

What version you are using 1.6 or 1.7?  The "official" release 1.6 is now three years old with major changes/updates completed on 1.7.  With the current nightly (1.7.4612 64 bit) I don't see issues with Pause Screen in LB.  Releases · PCSX2/pcsx2 (github.com)

Double check your emulator settings in LB and try these option below and see if resolves:

Lastly, check the command lines you are using to launch. The key ones being the -fullscreen (for 1.6 or 1.7) and -batch (if using 1.7 version) for front end usage:

Thanks for the help! After downloading the current version and tweaking the settings a bit it finally stopped minimizing the screen on pause input. Appreciate the response!
