Computer games are minimized by themselves at the moment of the game itself. This problem occurs quite often. There may be many reasons for it. In this article on our website, we will try to talk in detail about situations where some changes have been made to the operation of a personal computer, due to which some applications and games may spontaneously collapse.
1. The problem may lie in the overheating of the components of the computer or laptop. When the video card overheats, friezes or artifacts appear in the game, and when it overheats a lot, games freeze, as if tightly, or crash.
2. It is possible that the matter is in the keyboard. Start the game and do not touch it, after disabling the keyboard, hot key combinations may be “worked out”, and as a result, false keyboard responses begin. Sticky keys can also occur. Try replacing the keyboard with another one.
3. Without visible windows, some process starts, and therefore the windows that are active at that moment are minimized. Download the Process Explorer and Autoruns program (it is needed to control autoload). Filemon - performs the function of monitoring process accesses to files. Download the entire Sysinternals Suite for a deeper system check.
4. There is a possibility of a shortage random access memory. This can affect the curtailment of programs that are particularly demanding on computer resources. As a solution to the problem, you can add RAM. Skype, RocstarGames programs can also interfere.
5. The presence of a virus is another problem. And not just any, but Win32.Sality. Different antiviruses define it differently, but the common name remains the same. What is he capable of, and should he be treated urgently? Naturally! This virus is not only the answer to your question about why games are curtailed. This is the smallest mischief he is capable of. Actually, it's just a side effect. Sality infects most executable files on your computer, infiltrates most files and folders, and creates copies of itself on removable media. Not only regular programs are affected, but also antiviruses, which makes computer treatment problematic. In addition, it performs the functions of an autoloader, a spy, and a keylogger. In addition, the virus blocks Safe Mode, Registry Editor and Task Manager.
6. If you are using a USB modem, then it is most likely the cause of game crashes. The fact is that the modem regularly checks for driver updates on the Internet, and this is what causes the game to crash. It is treated simply by removing the modem maintenance program. There are no problems here. It will work without it. On the other hand, you can enter command line“msconfig” command, in the window that appears, go to the “Services” tab and uncheck the box next to “OUC” or another service responsible for updating software modem.
You can try to figure out the reasons for minimizing windows yourself, now you know where to look for the problem.
It happens that you sit yourself playing your favorite computer toy and suddenly - the window is rolled up! You have been thrown onto your desktop. Familiar? If this happened once a year or a month, then there is no point in paying attention, but if games are minimized regularly, something needs to be done about it. Basically, a similar problem has been seen on computers running Windows 7, although the “expiry” sometimes sins with similar “glitches”. So why do windows roll up, and what can you do about it?
Causes
When games at 7 fold almost every 3 minutes, there can be no talk of comfortable rest and entertainment at the computer. And you don’t particularly think about the reasons for such oddities - you want to quickly remove this “functionality” and relax while completing the next mission or sweat over an exciting online tank battle. This can also happen when watching movies and videos in full screen.
So what is the reason why games and videos are curtailed and where is the source of the problem? The games themselves running on Windows 7 have nothing to do with it. It turns out there are countless options. The malfunction itself is correctly referred to as “spontaneous minimization of active windows”. It can occur both in licensed Windows 7 and in a pirated assembly. For some users, games are curtailed due to:
- incorrect operation of Firewall programs;
- “work curve” of software from a USB modem;
- incorrect functionality of the Wi-Fi router utility.
- Due to some driver software.
In any case, the fault is usually some process, the completion of which (albeit forced), solves the problem.
How to get rid
You should start by launching the Task Manager. Hold down the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys on the keyboard and select the desired item in the menu that opens. Go to the processes tab of your Windows 7.
Ideally, you should carefully study the entire list for strange processes. But it is not so easy and requires a lot of knowledge. However, there are some general recommendations. Let's consider them. First, there are two processes: ouc.exe and TWCU.exe.
The ouc.exe process is unlikely to appear if you do not use an MTS USB modem. If one is connected to your computer or laptop, and the windows are minimized every now and then, then consider that the answer has been found! This notorious ouc.exe creates Trojan-like problems on a Windows 7 computer. But in fact, this is a small program that checks for updates to the modem.
If you find this process in yourself, you can force it to end. If there are multiple processes with the letters ouc, end them all. Log into the game and check the result. If the windows no longer roll up, congratulations. But the trouble is that you have to complete ouc every time Windows startup 7. The only way to completely get rid of the interfering process once and for all is to remove all MTS software and abandon the modem.
Still, “killing” the process each time it boots is easier. You can automate the process by creating a file in notepad with the following content:
taskkill /f /IM ouc.exe
DEL/F /Q "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Connect Manager\ouc.exe"
replacing USERPROFILE with your username. Save the file to your desktop with a .bat extension. Running it will close the process.
TWCU.exe is a program for TP-Link routers. The recipe, as in the previous case: stop using the router and remove all its software or end the process every time you start Windows 7.
If it didn't help
Why else can games minimize on Windows 7, since the above two examples do not always turn out to be a solution:
- Open Start.
- Type msconfig in the Run box and press Enter.
- Examine the list for "Realteck HD Manager".
- If so, uncheck the box and reboot.
Make sure there is no such process in the Task Manager. After that, games on Windows 7 should stop randomly minimizing.

Quite often, people encounter a problem that annoys them the most in this world. Alas, she is not connected with the neighbors and their constant friction, not connected with the mother-in-law, who is already so tired that sometimes it is simply impossible to endure. Everything is much simpler, but so annoying, because so many players have faced a similar problem, when you first registered for what seems like an eternity, then downloaded the game for even longer, and it is huge, even though the Internet is just useless. Yes, yes, every already experienced player remembers his first day in the game, or rather outside of it, while he had to spend a whole day, or even more, to finally play such an alluring world of tanks game. Many beginners face this problem and, unfortunately, there is no getting around it. But, even this is not as frustrating for the player as the situation when a newly loaded world game of tanks crashes on launch. Then everyone immediately rushes into a rage, because it is unbearable how much they suffer with installing the game and downloading the necessary updates, and as a result, nothing works. Very often this happens both among new players and among experienced players who have played the game for a long time, and then for no reason the game stopped launching.
As for the problem of launching the World of Tanks client for those people who have just begun to delve into this wonderful game, everything is quite simple here, since many of them simply do not read the minimum requirements for the game. For people of this type, Wargaming has compiled a number of recommendations for launching the game and possible problems due to which the client may not start. The fact is that the very first thing you need to make sure that the machine on which you want to play world of tanks has the necessary specifications and they should be:
Operating system on the Windows platform of any of their versions such as XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10;
- the presence of an Internet connection with a speed above 256 Kbps;
- a central processor with at least two active cores, with a power of 2.2 GHz;
- the presence of RAM with a capacity of 2 GB or more, for a more comfortable game it is recommended
use a computer with 4 GB of RAM;
- graphics card with at least 256 MB of memory and DirectX 9.0c installed;
- the sound card must also be compatible with DirectX 9.0c;
- in addition, for installation and a comfortable game, it is recommended to have at least 20 GB
free space on your drive.
Very often, it is precisely because of non-compliance with the minimum characteristics of the machine that the game does not start or works very poorly. To avoid unnecessary workload, customer support recommends that you familiarize yourself with these characteristics. In addition to the availability of the necessary technical characteristics of the computer, there are requirements for the software that must be installed on the computer, since during the game it is it that is used for its normal functioning. Such software includes the following tools:
Have the latest graphics card drivers installed, depending on
from its manufacturer (NVIDIA, Radeon, Intel);
- if you have problems with sound during the game, it is recommended to update and install
latest version of drivers for computer sound card (drivers must be
used exclusively from the official website of the developer);
- in addition to these two very important components, the player's computer must have
mandatory set latest version DirectX, taken from the official site
Microsoft company;
- requires the presence of such libraries for the functioning of the game as a Microsoft add-on
Visual C++ 2008 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 according to your operating system
systems;
- also make sure that you have installed such versions of the NET Framework program as 1,
3, 3.5 and 4.0, since without their installation, the game will not work the same as without previous programs.
guaranteed;
- do not forget about installing such a useful add-on as nVidia Physx.
There are cases, both among beginners and experienced players, when even after installing all the necessary software package, the game does not want to start. In this case, there is a place to talk about whether your computer is infected with viruses. Recently, it was they who most often began to block access to the game, as well as steal personal data of players to which logins, passwords and email addresses belong. The question of why world of tanks crashes at launch and already regular players does not cease to torment. The fact is that there are millions of such people around the world and their problems are very different depending on the cause of their occurrence. Someone installed the latest modifications that block files and lead to a general crash, so the game closes, someone accidentally deleted desired file instead of uninstalling the add-ons, and someone simply interrupted the updates, and as a result of this, a crash occurred, after which the game stopped launching. In most cases, the usual reinstallation of the game helps, which not only completely creates all the original files, but also clears the game of modifications. Sometimes the game crashes when startup world of tanks and for those who have already used this recommendation and reinstalled the game, but still something is not right. Quite often this is due to damage to the operating system, which over time from the moment of installation is clogged with unnecessary programs and many files that not only load its work, but can also interrupt the normal functioning of everything in it. Therefore, its usual reinstallation also very often solves all the problems that may arise both while working with this game and during the launch of other games.
Many bugs in the game itself are not excluded to this day, which developers, for some reason, are in no hurry to solve. Therefore, there are times when it is these bugs that lead to the problem of launching the game and enjoying the immediate gameplay. Like other well-known errors of departure from the battle itself, loading tanks in the air or simply hanging in battle out of the blue, there is an error that is directly related to the client's departure. A bug that closes the game while minimizing to the game panel and many, many others. All this is possible even despite the fact that you have just downloaded the game and you have all the gaming software necessary for a successful launch, and the hardware is so cool that Jov himself can envy him. If after all this the game still crashes, then you are welcome to "bomb" the game's user support service as soon as possible. Perhaps they will not only help you solve the problem related to the game crashing at startup, but also think that if the number of requests related to the game and errors in it increases, then it might be worth considering fixing them. And, of course, if you have tried all the methods and nothing helps, then you definitely need to contact them as often as possible and then the developers will finally start thinking about the simplest players and their problems and take care of everything.
After all, the errors that we face day after day have accumulated over many years from the day the game was created and released to people, and no one wants to deal with them, which is very, very sad, given that the game has gained such popularity among people worldwide.
Solutions to the problem:
Problem solving
Option 1.
Run WorldofTanks.exe application as administrator.
Option 2.
Delete mods. Go to catalog res_mods –> 1.0.2.4 . Delete all files from the folder.
Option 3.
Update video card drivers and reinstall DirectX. We download them from the official websites of the manufacturer of your video card.
Option 4. OK.
Option 5.
Right-click on WorldofTanks.exe, choose properties A, tab Compatibility . We put the lowest compatibility - Windows 95. OK.
If it does not help, we return to the starting position.
Option 6.
Rename the file WorldofTanks.exe to file WorldofTanks000.exe. In this case, it will be impossible to enter through the launcher. If it does not help, we return everything as it was.
Option 7.
Create in directory World of Tanks folder with the username (see option 4.), inside its successively subfolders AppData -> Local -> Temp .
Option 8.
Removing the game client completely World of Tanks from the computer and install it again
Any questions left...
The well-known tanks "World of Tanks" is one of the most popular online gaming projects, which has already won the sympathy of millions of users around the world.
The game is beautifully filled and optimized. However, there are flaws everywhere, there is no escape from this.
Users of tanks are very often tormented by the question “why is the world of tanks game folding?”
Let's figure it out.
The reasons are actually many. One of them is the modifications installed on your game client. Many users often complement the game in this way, but not everyone is careful here. Many download modifications from unreliable sources, or those add-ons that cause conflicts with each other. If you have modifications installed on your client, then first of all you need to erase them and see how the game behaves after that.
Another reason for the disagreement in the game and its constant curtailment can be the incorrect operation of the game client itself. If you have already uninstalled the modifications, or there were none at all, then it is recommended to reinstall or update the game client.
If actions with the client did not help you, then we conclude that the problem lies not in this. Then we are left with two options: your PC and the actual files of the game itself, and not its client. If there are no obvious problems with the files, then it is better to update them all. It’s worth starting with clearing the game cache, if it doesn’t help, then we completely erase all the data about the game and install it again. It is very important to pay attention to the source from which you download the application, there are a huge number of various files on the network, but in order to be sure of the installer, you should download it from the official website of tanks.
If even this does not help, then there is another fallback option: manually deleting all Java files of the game
This is done very simply, through the control panel and uninstall programs. We just find the files in the list and delete them, after that, of course, you need to reinstall them.
Answering the question: “why is the world of tanks game folding?” you should pay attention to the technical characteristics of the device that you use during the game. If system requirements applications do not match your system, then this is undoubtedly the problem. This is a call to the fact that you should upgrade or purchase a completely new PC.
The first difficulties can begin even at the stage of the game launcher. If the launcher crashes after launch, you will need to configure it correctly.
- Delete the Updates and Wargaming.net folders from the Windows system folders: XP C:\Documents and Settings\UseName\Local Settings\temp, Vista and Win 7 C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp
- We start the launcher again, specifying port 6881 and using a torrent connection.
- Add the game to the firewall and antivirus exceptions (if you use a standard firewall, this is done directly in the launcher settings).
Launcher hangs, gear is spinning
If you see a similar picture, try the following steps:
Game crashes after pressing "Play"
Launcher started normally, but when you click the "Play" button, it does not start or the game client itself crashes? The following options are possible.
System requirements do not match
Although WoT does well on older PCs, there are minimum requirements without which the game will not run. Only a computer upgrade will help.
Wrong graphics settings
Crashes are possible if you used graphics settings higher than the computer can "pull". Difficulties can begin both during the battle and at the very start of the game.
For a solution, choose more modest graphics settings, starting with the recommended settings.
Rights and Compatibility Issues
Security systems in new operating systems(from Vista and newer) do not always give games a comfortable environment to run. Try running Tanki as administrator and in compatibility mode.
- Right-click on the WoT shortcut and select "Properties".
- Go to the "Compatibility" tab.
- We set the level of rights and check the various compatibility modes.
Video card drivers not working
To run the game correctly and ensure good performance, be sure to take care of installing drivers for your video card.
- Visit the NVIDIA or AMD/ATI website to find a driver for your device.
- Select your video card model from the list on the site.
- Download the full installer (we do not recommend using the update).
- Install drivers.
Missing Windows system components
For the correct operation of Tanks, a lot of auxiliary programs are required. If they are not on the computer, World of Tanks will not start. Let's briefly go through the components necessary for launching.link).
individual case
If all the above recommendations did not help, you should contact the Wargaming.net support forum to resolve the issue. To get an accurate decision, be as informative as possible when making an application.
- PC configuration;
- under what circumstances the game crashes;
- what have already been tried to solve;
We hope that these methods will allow you to solve the issue of the client crash, and help you enjoy the game of Tanks to the fullest. If none of this helped, try deleting and re-writing, or write in the comments, we will try to help you.
