Windows 10: Did they mess with the exclusive fullscreen mode again? I can't get it to work on Win 10 2004

On 1909 I used this method to get every game I wanted to run in exclusive fullscreen mode:

By default it would ignore the checkbox on "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations" but if you applied these registry values, it would honor it again:

This now doesn't seem to have any effect on 2004. There's now no way to get games like Battlefield 1/V or Insurgency Sandstorm running in exclusive fullscreen mode.

Does anyone know what exactly they changed and how to get it working on 2004?

One additional note: I'm not looking for "why do you want to do that?" arguments. I just do. Thanks for respecting that.

Thank you for posting back. If you trust a file, file type, folder, or a process that Windows Defender Antivirus has detected as malicious, you can stop Windows Defender Antivirus from alerting you or blocking the program by adding the file to

• Go to Settings and select Update & security.
• Click Windows Defender.
• Look for Exclusions and select Add an exclusion.

Black Screen issue for Exclusive Fullscreen mode when exiting or Alt+Tab to Desktop

Issues with exiting from a game in full-screen mode may occur due to several reasons. It is possible that your video card driver is not updated or not compatible with the current configuration of your PC. To properly isolate your concern, please provide
us the following information:

• Are you using a dual monitor display?
• Does the issue occur when exiting the games from windowed mode?

Black Screen issue for Exclusive Fullscreen mode when exiting or Alt+Tab to Desktop after Anniversary Update

Hello, Pavan, I would like to add a few more details to this issue.

This seems to be an issue for multiple games running on exclusive fullscreen mode. Happens with Child of Light, Rocksmith, The Witcher, Resident Evil Revelations, World of Warships and a few others from what I could see. They all share the
same circumstances, and the only way to avoid this issue is to set the game to run on borderless fullscreen mode.

When stuck in this black screen, the only way out is to press ctrl+alt+del, and blindly go to the "change user" option ("down" and "enter" after pressing the combo). After logging back into Windows, the issue is gone. Another way of avoiding this issue is
to alt+tab from the game, exit it from the taskbar or forcefully killing the process.

I would like to say that this is a problem related only to Windows 10 Anniversary Update. This issue never happened before on previous Windows 10 builds and the reproduction rate of this issue is 100%. If you have an affected machine, this is going to happen
every time you exit an affected game. This seems to happen only to a handful of games, so keep that in mind.

Hopefully you can address this issue as soon as possible, because it is very frustrating.
