So ive been having 2 issues with my TF2 somewhat recently that have been bothering the shit out of me.
1. My TF2, when i alt tab out, and then click back in, has about a 1/4 chance to completely crash, and since i have ADD and cant be unoccupied for 5 seconds in between maps and such, i do that a lot. It only happens when im using dx8, when i switch to dx9 the problem goes away along with the delay between clicking into tf2 and actually seeing something other than a black screen.
2. My TF2, at random times, will freeze, but in such a way where its not responding, but i cant exit out of it. I can minimize TF2, but i cant bring the screen back up, and after i minimize TF2, i can click on tabs in my hotbar, but i cannot click on anything within the pages themselves. Even when i open task manager, i cant use it because it seems to think tf2 is still open and i am still clicking into the TF2 window. This forces me to have to sign out and resign back in, losing whatever pages or programs i had open.
If anybody knows why this happens, please let me know. I can give spec if needed of my computer and such. Thank you.

I cant figure out how to take out the -dxlevel 81 from my launch options. Ive tried launching, removing it, then exiting and relaunching, launching, exiting, then removing it, and every other way, and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Just remove it from your launch options and start the game.
It only needs to be in launch options for the very first time that it launches the game, after that the game will use that directx mode until it has been told to use something else.
Any -dxlevel parameter can cause the issues you're describing, not just dxlevel 81

The Problem is, ive tried every way of taking it out of my launch options, including taking it out while tf2 is still open, taking it out after i close tf2, not going into any servers before i close tf2, going into servers before closing, and nothing has worked for me. Every time i take dxlevel 81 out of my launch options, it goes back to dxlevel 9.

Post all the launch options you have set for TF2, and also put your autoexec on pastebin or something to post it here.

-full -w 1920 -h 1080 -console -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -novid +exec interp
Autoexecs never worked for me, so i just have it set to exec my autoexec: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rn5etwmfg1bx22e/interp.cfg

Are you opted into the steam client beta?
I had the game closing/signing out of steam issue and once i opted out of the beta it was no longer a problem.
