Game switching between desktop and game SLI PROBLEM?

Hello to all,

i encounter the following problem with Elite for some time now.
Whenever i start the game ( now the new Beta but happens also with the 32Bit version), i get it switching between desktop and game. I see the game loading and starting for a split second then the screen switches back to desktop for a second and then back to the game and so forth...
But the game is running normally in the back, just always changing ...
I wonder if that has to do something with using SLI but have no clue why this should be the case and if so how to solve it.
I'm running the following system : 2x GTX970 SLI , ICore i7-5820k CPU @ 3.30Ghz, 16GB RAM , Samsung 4K 3840x2160 60Hz, WIN 10 Home, NVidia Driverversion 359.000

just tried again with disabled SLI and it works great so it seems to be a SLI problem but WHY?

Any idea what that could be?
Thanks a lot

It does sound like an SLI issue, but when I was getting randomly kicked to desktop (with the game still running in the background) it was my backup utility popping up a little message in the corner of the desktop to say it was starting/finishing jobs. So check your app tray for anything that might be doing similar.
 
Thank you for your answer Ian, but i don't think that is the problem because i don't have any issues if i disable SLI... on one card it runs smooth.
 
I keep getting this every now and then because Missusji uses Citrix when she works from home. Exiting Citrix fixes it.
