Game Freezes after using Alt-Tab

I don't know if this is a known issue, but when I Alt-Tab out of the game into a different window on my computer, and then I Alt-Tab back into the game, the game freezes for around 10 seconds. The game only freezes if I hit a key on my keyboard once I am back into the game. I can click around with my mouse and open menus, and everything is fine. This can be very annoying when trying to look up strategies while also playing the game
I think this has to do with the computer I am using because this did not happen on my old computer, and this also happens to a friend who has the same computer as me. I am using a Dell Inspiron 13-7368. If there is any known fix, please let me know!
Steps to Reproduce
  1. Alt-Tab out of game
  2. Alt-tab into game
  3. Click a key on your key board

Actual Results:

Game freezes for about 10 seconds

Expected Results:
Game should not freeze
