Windows 10: cant play games that are not in windowed mode

Did a clean install with build 10074 the day before, and then I updated to 10122 with windows update.

 

Seeing as how the issue was there in 10074, upgrading to 10122 possibly carried the issue into the new build. If you can, I'd recommend clean installing 10122 and seeing if the issue still persists.

 

I've made the jump from build 10049 and had the issue on the 10122. So I dont think it carried the problem in his case.

 

Hmm...that's interesting. I'm not having any issues playing games in fullscreen on 10122. Then again, I didn't on 10079 either. I'll look around. If I can find any possible solutions or workarounds, I'll post them.

 

Windows 10 behaves very strangely from people to people. In my case best gaming experience is 10049, all other builds had some kind of problem. The worse being of course in 10122 with game crashing full screen.
So far I've never been able to find a pattern as what causes people (and mine) problems

 

Most of the builds are pretty solid gaming for me, although 10122 was pretty bad. My only issue is that I have to use an older Windows 8.1 Nvidia driver or I get hard locks while playing games. Hopefully all this gets sorted out once Windows 10 RTMs.
