So when i play games on my primary monitor, in fullscreen, i want to be able to interact with things on the second monitor. But when i do that, my game minimizes on my primary monitor and i have to open it again, kind of defeating the whole purpose of having two monitors. I tried doing some searching, but i cant really find anything on this.

I am running Windows 10. Would appreciate any suggestions :)

Windowed Borderless is what you need. Should be in game settings.
