Do you have launch parameters activated?

If so, delete -winxp.

Yeah, my parameters were "-winxp -maxMem=2048 -maxVram=2048 -nosplash -noPause -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7". Seems like after deleting "-winxp" the game wont crash when in menu and Alt-Tabbing. Have to try ingame when servers are up again.
Thank you for the solution.
