  1. Screen only shows 1 app at a time and only in full screen mode.


    So I'm basically copying and pasting from another post about the same problem but its closed now and the problem wasn't solved.


    "the display suddenly switched to some sort of mode where only one window is visible at a time, and each window fills the entire screen."


    I've tried everything I can think of I'm not sure what to do now.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 taskbar will reappear when app is in full screen mode.

    Hello Ecarnate,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

    • You mean to say, the taskbar will appear on hover when app is in full screen mode?
    • Is this happening for all Windows 10 apps that can run in full screen mode?
    • If not, then for which app this is happening?
    Usually when you switch an app to full screen mode, then the taskbar will automatically hide on background. When you switch back the app to normal mode then the taskbar will reappear again. From your description, I see that taskbar is still appearing in
    full screen view.

    Yes, when you scroll the mouse cursor completely to the bottom of the screen, then taskbar will reappear even in full screen mode. This is as per Windows 10 design. You can only prevent this by not moving the cursor completely to the bottom of the screen.

    Suggest you to post your feedback in this regard using Windows Feedback app, which will help us to improve you experience.

    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

    Radeon HD 6990 - not playable in full screen mode

    CCC 11.2 display driver is not compatible, the screen native resolution (1920 / 1200) wasn't in the resolution list.

    CCC 11.3 works the same way as 11.4, works fine in windowed mode and windowed fullscreen (e.g. no border) but in full screen mode I get non-stop flickering. *Frown Screen only shows 1 app at a time and only in full screen mode. :(

    The flickering happens with and without vertical sync enabled.

    Edit: tried fraps in another game with the same result - the flickering is showing in game but not in the recorded video.
