It seems like if I have the game in fullscreen, specifically exclusive fullscreen, then press the windows key, no issues, but when I then renenter the game and press the windows key to exit again (both times with the game unpaused), my whole screen goes black forever, and nothing fixes it except restarting the computer. Alt f4, task manager, ctrl alt delete, nothing. Please fix. It happens consistently

I can't reproduce it on Windows 10. Maybe you accidentally turned off the display backlight? (Win + F5 on my laptop)

I'm on windows 11, I can reproduce it consistently, and win + F5 doesn't do anything unless I press Fn.

I got a black screen in Windows 10, it's inconsistent and I can get rid of it with Alt-Tab. Looks like a Windows problem, we don't do anything with the Win key in the code. So should we disable the Win key altogether?

Did @kw-create try Alt+Tab instead of the Windows key? Just to confirm that only the latter has the issue.

alt+tab back into doom is the only thing that fixes it. Still happens almost 100% of the time. I can also cause the issue by using alt + tab instead of pressing the windows key.

I just dealt with a slightly bad undervolt that would cause crashes alt-tabbing basic games even though running demanding raytraced stuff was OK. Something about instability at relatively light loads and things boosting weirdly and crashing. Any chance you've done something similar?

I can replicate the issue, it's related to how "Exclusive Fullscreen" works on Windows with some drivers/hardware. Not sure if we can fix it.
