Hello,
I own Minecraft Windows 10 Edition on PC.
When I do an alt + tab (or a desktop return) during a session, I lose the connection to the Minecraft server. I am not the same problem with Sea of thieves bought also on the Windows store. The problem occurs only in full screen mode.
The game is allowed to operate in the background.
Thank you
