Weird WIN+D behavior on laptop

[biostem]

So when I play CoH on my desktop, WIN+D works as expected and brings me back to the desktop without issue, but when I try the same thing on my laptop, it either does nothing or seemingly only changes the cursor back to the regular Windows one, leaves COH running in the foreground, but I cannot interact with anything unless I hit ESC, (at which point the cursor goes back to the CoH one).  I've tried running the game in regular 1366x768, 1366x768 [Desktop], and 1366x768 [Display1], and all yield the same result.  Running it in windowed mode works as I was expecting, but there's a pretty significant performance hit when doing so, and the actual window elements eat up a lot of the limited screen real estate.  The laptop is using a Ryzen 3 CPU/GPU, (the desktop has a dedicated Nvidia GPU for reference).  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!
