Windows Key + D Causing Game to Close

After having switched from Direct X11 to the Vulkan renderer the desktop shortcut Windows Key + D causes POE to close. This has never happened in the past.

I'm a little late.. but for me too..

The "windows key + d" means that you want Windows to minimise all programs and show the desktop. All programs are still running but minimised to the taskbar.

So no bug here and working as intended by Microsoft (GGG has no control here).

I think it is a bug.

Sounds like the game crashes when you use the 'show desktop' shortcut.

Might help troubleshooting/identifying the problem: What windowed mode do you run PoE in (full screen, windowed full screen, windowed)? Does it crash during other minimize operations or only with Win+D (for example, if full screen: alt+tabbing; else third party software that can force a minimize like Process Explorer)?

If you get a Client or Instance crash, we receive a report automatically the next time you start your client. Report it here in a thread only if you have reproduction steps that will let us find the problem.

I am running Vulcan and can use that short-cut without any problems.
I am running PoE in Window-Fullscreen.
