I've recently got a new laptop installed java, and now I'm playing Minecraft perfectly, but every about 5 seconds to 2 minutes it'll exit out of full screen and put my cursor on the desktop so I can't control Minecraft, and it won't pause the game. It takes about 10 second for me to recover from this and get back in control of Minecraft, but usually I'm dead by then.
I'm just wondering if anyone could help me solve this problem. I have Windows 8 and 64 bit Java if that's any help. Thanks!
Also, I'm using a 512*512 resource pack with 4GB of RAM allocated on a non-modded Minecraft (but I think that should be obvious because of the section this is in.)
There are two possibilities based on my research. First, open task manager and make sure there are no programs that auto minimize Minecraft, a possibility is FireFox. Making sure your graphic card driver is running properly with the newest update might also fix this problem. Good Luck!

I don't have firefox, there are no programs that would minimize Minecraft, and all my drivers are up to date. Whenever it exits fullscreen I can see my taskbar rearrange its self as if there was another application there. When I play in windowed mode, all I don't see anything on the taskbar.
Extra: Whenever the window minimized I can also see the icon in the taskbar flash as if there was a notification from Minecraft. Perhaps Minecraft is causing its own problem?
Did you try updating your Java, Graphics Card Driver? Also make sure to reinstall Minecraft.
I've tried all of those, still nothing. I'm going to look through all of my processes and search them on the internet to see if any of these could be causing a problem.
Update: I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and now it appears to be fixed. I've been playing for a few hours wihtout interruption. Maybe it was just Windows constantly trying to notify me of a new version, but I could never see that because I never check my windows start menu because Windows 8 start menu sucks, but only now I've decided to look there.
Sorry for wasting anyone's time if this is all it took, but I will keep an eye out and if I can see this happening again I will notify you guys.
