W10 notification: Oxygen Not Included has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware

Got a Windows notification saying "Oxygen Not Included has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware". The game is still running in the background with sound playing, but the game is not drawn at all in the application. This has only happened once in 97 hours of hours with a lot of application switching. Choosing to report it anyway.

Bug: Game is running without graphics. Sound is still playing.

Actions taken: ALT + SHIFT to another application. (Chrome) Leaving the game running in the background.

Operating system: Windows 10 Home (15063.296)

Seems to be solved. I've updated the driver and restarted my machine. I'm also running windowed mode instead now and have not experienced any crashes. I'm guessing this wasn't really an issue related to your game, but I wanted to report it anyway just in case.
