For some reason I have to close creative cloud in order to play BG1, otherwise the game will just keep minimizing until I do close creative cloud. I am not sure what is going on. To be clear that is adobe creative cloud.

Turns out it happens with Lords of Magic as well. Both Gog versions. Is there some how a compatibility issue with creative cloud and Gog? I am not sure why there would be, but there it is.

It is not a Baldur's Gate issue -- BG does not minimise itself -- it is an issue with Windows and Creative Cloud, which keeps stealing focus from the game. You should never play games with crap like that running, anyway.
