    All my games are suddenly fullscreen, but windowed borderless mode is desired.


    Previously, all my games have been defaulted to windowed borderless mode without tampering with settings, it was always like this which is how I like it. Recently, I launched Skyrim through Steam, and used GeForce Experience'sI have a 1070 card "Optimize" button for Skyrim, and Skyrim only. I also downloaded the latest drivers while I was there. Ever since then, ALL my games run in fullscreen mode when I start them. I do not want this. How can I achieve windowed borderless by default again, or at least manually set it per-game? I have tried Alt+Enter and Windows+Alt+Enter, neither do anythin

    :)

    Windowed mode (No border)?

    Hi all,
    What is the difference between fullscreen mode and borderless window mode? Both of them look like standard fullscreen mode. What is the point? Do games run better on borderless window mode? Why does this option exist at all in games?
    Thanks,
    hazazs

    I think I've seen that option in GTA V as well, not sure what purpose it has

    Windows 10 Borderless Fullscreen

    I recently switched from Windows 7 to 10 and have found out that with multiple monitors, borderless fullscreen doesn't work as it did on Windows 7. I usually play games in borderless fullscreen so that I can easily do other things on my second monitor.
    Whenver I would click on something on my second monitor, the taskbar would appear on my main monitor. However, with Windows 10, this is not the case and the taskbar would not appear. Is there any way to make it so that if I alt tab to my second monitor my
    taskbar will popup on my main monitor?
