    All games blacking out in fullscreen mode


    All of my games, on Steam, Origin, Blizzard, or Uplay have this problem where they black out for about five seconds any time I click or select an option in the game. The issue occurs in fullscreen and windowed borderless mode, but doesn't in windowed mode.


    I've tried restarting, installing new drivers, reinstalling games, changing my monitor's refresh rate, and running games in compatibility mode, nothing's worked.


    It's also worth noting that the issue only occurs with my middle monitor, which is 75hz if that would make a difference, my other two monitors are 60hz


    GPU: r9 390x

    CPU: i7 6700

    Monitor: Acer KG221Q

    :)

    Games crashing in fullscreen mode

    Hi, I have a problem with all games on my PC for a while. Every time when I try to launch games in fullscreen, they crash and won't launch. I mask the problem with windowed mode (in windowed mode there is no problem) but it's annoying and fps drops down
    in windowed mode.

    I tried so many things - reinstalling display drivers, reinstalling all games and steam, some minor "fixes" that I found on the web, but nothing helps.

    My PC specs:

    • Windows 10 x64
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
    • Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU
    I really don't know what to do. I will be very happy if someone can help. Thank you!

    Windows 10 1709 (16299.309) has somehow disabled 'Fullscreen' in games.

    I recently updated to 1709 and have found that games no longer have access to fullscreen mode.

    Most games force me directly to Windowed mode, and no longer list Fullscreen in the enum. Some games still allow windowed fullscreen. Games that list the standard Fullscreen typically crash or post an error when I swap to that mode.

    The only thing that has changed on my system is my OS version, and I've been using an otherwise identical setup for gaming for years.

    Since updating windows, I updated my video drivers, which resolved nothing. Sadly I just passed my 1 week window to undo the windows 'upgrade'.
