Windows 10: Disable fullscreen optimizations

Hello,


I just have a quick question about the option for "disable fullscreen optimizations." To get there, I right click a .exe app or a game and click compatibility. The problem is whenever I do check this option, alt tabbing takes significantly longer when enabling this for a game where it just gives me a 3 second backscreen period instead of alt tabbing immediately. I have the same resolution and refresh rate set for both windows and the game. This also does not happens with my friends.


I wanted to know if their is another solution to this other than changing the game to windowed fullscreen since I prefer playing at fullscreen.


I have attached a photo of the option to disable fullscreen optimization.


Any help is much appreciated!




:)

 

Can't disable 'Fullscreen optimizations' globally after October 1809 update

I have always disabled Windows 10's Fullscreen optimizations. Even if some people say the new 'fullscreen' presentation mode offers better performance and quicker alt-tabbing, I still disable it. I have my reasons. I want all of my games to run in
Exclusive fullscreen mode. And for me, the registry entry, 'GameDVR_FSEBehavior' set to '2' always disabled Fullscreen optimizations globally (no need to go into each .exe's Compatibility settings to disable it).
Located in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore

Now, after the 1809 October feature update. The fullscreen optimizations presentation mode defaults to on in all games, regardless of the 'GameDVR_FSEBehavior' value. The other method of disabling it globally has also been gone for a few months now. Unchecking
the box, "Show game bar when I play full-screen games Microsoft has verified" used to disable Fullscreen optmizations globally, but that setting was removed from the Gaming options in Windows.

I would like to know how to disable the Fullscreen optmizations presentation mode
globally in Windows 10 after the October 2018 update.

I do realize that individual .exe's can disable Fullscreen optimizations by right-clicking, Properties, and going to Compatibility tab, but even this solution doesn't work for all games now.
For example; after the October update, I have yet to find a way to disable fullscreen optimizations for Fortnite BR. Even with the option checked in the exe, it still runs in the 'enhanced fullscreen' mode. I cannot find a way to run Fortnite
BR in exclusive fullscreen after the October update 1809.

Thanks!

What exactly is FullScreen Optimization in Creator's Update?

I was not able to find any documentation or description, official or unofficial, on what the "fullscreen optimization" really does?

It turns "true" fullscreen mode into a hybrid Borderless Windowed mode.

With certain games it is recommended to disable fullscreen optimization. Some reports better FPS, reduced input lag, but the results vary per game, probably per configuration.
