I see with the second beta this issue still remains on my system.

No one else is seeing this.

Yeah, since nobody is minimizing the window while playing using a VR Headset. What is the use case behind it?

I was in VR and when I saw the drop in FPS checked my desktop and found it minimized.

This is not something I did but it did happen more than once.
