Steam games randomly minimizing? Is Steam Web Helper.exe to blame?

For the last six months I've noticed this more and more. Games minimizing to the system tray. 

 

I downloaded a program called focus that's supposed to tell you what's interrupting your game/desktop and it looks like steamwebhelper.exe  is coming up during these times. Anyone else familiar with this? Any way to disable the webhelper? I think it's integrated into Steam so not sure if that's possible or what exactly is going on here

I know that’s a standard steam process and probably not the issue as that is running on my devices and doesn’t do that. Next time it happens look in event viewer and see if you can find a system notification around that time. See if maybe something is disconnecting randomly. Could be usb energy savings or smtn.
