Windows Stardew Valley fullscreen issue, unable to return to game

Hello,

I’m having an issue with Stardew Valley when using Fullscreen Mode.
When the game is running in fullscreen and I press Alt + Tab or anything that switch to another window, I cannot return back to the game. The game still appears to be running in the taskbar, but clicking the Stardew Valley icon does not bring the game back. It seems like the game is still active, but I cannot access the window again.
I tested the game in Windowed Borderless Mode, and the issue does not happen there. The problem only seems to happen when using normal fullscreen mode.

Version number / build number:
1.6.15 Build 24356

Save file:
I will provide my save file in case if needed

Full error text:
There is no visible error message. The game does not crash, but it cannot be brought back after Alt-Tab in fullscreen mode.

Operating system and device:
Windows 11
ASUS TUF A15 FA506IC laptop
AMD Ryzen 7 4800H

Other relevant information:
The issue happens only in fullscreen mode. Windowed borderless works normally. I have also noticed the game keeps running in the background/taskbar, but I cannot switch back into it after Alt-Tab.
