ever since i upgraded to windows 10 i get this issue where if i have Fixed Window set if i alt tabed too much no matter how much time passed between the previous alt tab, it will lock up the computer, graphically, i can still hear sounds and music. i even tried a clean windows install, and it even happens on multiple computers i’ve tested it on
i have to hard reset the pc just to get back on
I’m also having this issue on multiple computers (both at home and my work computer), with different CPU/GPUs and the latest drivers and Win10 updates. My displays completely locks up, while I can still hear sounds from Mumble and other apps. I have to cycle power on the PC to get it running again.
You should find a solution to your issue in the thread linked below.
ya that dosent fix this issue
I’m glad to see its acknowledged, I came here today to post this issue. However I tried the fixes and there is no change on my computer.
I run two accounts usually preferably in fixed window. I’ve taken a long break but upon coming back I’m noticing an alt tabbing problem which I’ve never had before for years. The lag can totally lock the system up for 5 seconds or so, or it can just stutter and continue along. It also blocks inputs entirely and loses them … sometimes.
Another strange symptom is it varies from alt-tab to alt-tab and isn’t consistent at all. And it seems like everything I do that could affect video performance seems to affect this issue, but never resolve it. For example if I switch to Fullscreen then the problem seems to go away completely for a little while (hours or minutes, there is no telling). Then it comes back in full force until I switch back to Fixed Window. Out of the game I can shut down Geforce Experience since I have shadowplay on and there is an overlay associated with that and the problem seems to go away. For a minute then it comes back. I haven’t messed with Window mode a lot cause I dont want to use it even if it was a workaround because of what it does to all the dialog boxes.
After following the workarounds that I could in that link I cleared all my cache and rebooted. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled. It actually seems worse now but that is probably a coincidence.
It only seems to happen when two clients or more are running. One works great in any mode I’ve tried.
The system is pretty vanilla, I dont like a lot of background processes. I do have Teamviewer autorun but I’ll shut it down and there is no difference.
I was interested in the Intel iGPU workaround but I actually have mine disabled completely in the BIOS and it doesn’t register as a device in Windows at all.
I’d like to resolve this because its so bad on occasion its game breaking
I have the same issue since the september-update of EVE. GPU-drivers (ATI) and Windows 10 64Bit are up to date.
While I hate EVE crashing, it’s infuriating in its current state where it crashes my whole computer. 
Same issue here. Crash after about 15-20 alt-tab out on my son’s computer
Eve crashes must faster on my own computer.
So 2 out 2 of computers in the house eventually crashes eve.
Only own computer, it literally crashes my computer and I need to reboot.
My screen freezes up and I can still hear teamspeak, talk to my corpmates, etc. Started happening 2-3 days ago.
edit: Reverted to a previous update of Windows 10 without the creators update. It seems to be working fine so far.
Same issue here.

EDIT: @GM_Mechanic post above appears to have fixed my issues in combination with a complete DDU uninstall of Nvidia drivers (and reinstall)
Thanks so much for linking that!
Having the same issue running only one client. So damn aggravating. Please, anyone with a suggestion?
I thought disabling Windows 10 Game bar would potentially fix this but unfortunately not.
To add insult to injury I lose my profile when I need to reboot.

I also share the same symptoms, a crash which happens randomly after an alt tab with a fixed window EVE client.
I will try to use the fullscreen mode, but the fixed window mode is quite nice to have if you have to play with multiple clients at the same time.
I already tried to disable the game mode of windows etc, with no results so far as the crash still happen from time to time.
Since October, did you found a solution for your issues ?
after every new NVIDIA Patch i try to use the fixed window … and it DON´T work ! (since Creators Update)
Why is nobody from the Tech Team @CCP able to make a basic Troubleshooting and identify this issue.
All affected users have the same Symptoms :
