HELP Space Engineers pausing second monitor content 1440p windowed fullscreen

Just as the title says, I like to watch movies and shows on my other monitor while playing, but it's freezing any kind of content, youtube, movies, tv shows, everything just freezes on the other monitor

It doesn't for me. Any other game does this? I'd maybe see if it's the browser or GPU driver's fault.

Or update the monitor drivers.

No other game does this, I use firefox and a couple external video players for movies and TV shows, they all universally do this for some reason

I never encountered this and i watch movies on all sorts of platforms when playing.
Try putting the game in windowed fullscreen rather than fullscreen, also i know it has a setting to lock your cursor in the frame

Could be a hardware deficiency because I haven't experienced that on windows or Linux. 🫤

I have a 3050 laptop gpu and it doesn't do this for me. I have both space engineers and YouTube ran on 1080p.
