If CSGO keeps minimizing, check if any background apps are causing it by accident. Sometimes it's just an update notification from another app that's doing it. Also, make sure your game is set to run in 'Fullscreen' mode and not 'Windowed' or 'Borderless Windowed' because those can sometimes cause issues. Lastly, update your graphics drivers and verify the game files through Steam, just in case something got corrupted!

Make sure your antivirus is not the culprit. Sometimes, it decides that CSGO looks suspicious mid-game and will tab you out to desktop to give you a pop-up. Set CSGO as an exception in your antivirus settings.
