I'm on Windows 10, with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M graphics card if that helps. (Not a very narrow window of time I know.) I wasn't getting this last time I was trying to play, but the last time I played this before yesterday was sometime in January. I can't say when exactly this started being the case as I haven't been playing the game very regularly, but I noticed it yesterday when I was playing a bit and I tried alt tabbing out and got the freeze.

When a game runs in full screen, it occupies the whole of grapic card power, leaving none to the Host OS, While in full screen windowed mode, the game loses out a bit on the "exclusive mode" & graphical interface. The difference here is that you might lose out a tiny bit on high graphic games. You can fix this by running the game in full-screen windowed mode, instead of running it in full-screen. But I did used fullscreen windowed mode when available until I found the problem fixed itself so I'll mark that as the answer.

Both Windows 10 and Nvidia Drivers had several updates since then and now I don't have this problem anymore. It's been a long time since I asked this question. Here are the things I've tried and haven't worked: This I haven't tried since I open the games from the Steam/Blizzard launchers.

This thread in Steam forums talk about something similar in several games on Windows 7 due to the monitor set to 59hz by default.

Here's some research I've done for similar problems. It has happened to me in the games Overwatch, Destiny2, DragonAge Origins and the Final Fantasy XV Demo, so I'm pretty sure it's a general error when going fullscreen.

It also happens if I try to press alt+enter to get the game to go to windowed mode.

I can unplug and plug again the HDMI cable and it gets me back to the desktop.

I can press Windows+P two or three times and Enter to blindly try to switch to multiple monitors setup, doing two or three times gets me back to the desktop.

I can press alt+tab again and it comes back to the game.

I have a single monitor and an Nvidia Graphics card. It also turns black sometimes after exiting the game. It doesn't happen all the time which is makes this even more confusing. When I use alt+tab on a fullscreen game to go back to the Desktop in Windows 10, most of the time the screen goes black.
