  1. full screens on my games are no longer working after installing most recent Windows 10 updates


    I installed all recommended updates to my windows 10 and then tried to open several games Jewel Quest, Brickshooter Egypt, Super Granny4 and none of them would open to full screen even when the full screen box was checked under game options. I got a 1/4th screen in the upper left corner that could not be expanded. they were working fine before the updates. I tried alt-enter as suggested by a Microsoft advisor but no effect. I tried to uninstall all the updates the security update did not have an uninstall option, restart the computer, then start the games again but same problem. They were bought from two different game providers - Big Fish and Iwin_ so I don't think this is the fault of the providers. I installed a new game for comparison and it would only open in 1/4th of the screen. So it has to be the Windows program somewhere. HELP!! so frustrating.....

  4. full screens on my games are no longer working after installing most recent Windows 10 updates

    Win 10 Pro Anniversary Update = black screen when running games. Is there a fix?

    Recently updated to the Anniversary Update for Win 10 Pro. I held out for a while but decided to go ahead and install it. I am now receiving black screens when running games. The only work around is to run them in windowed mode rather than full screen. I can't update my video card drivers as they are the latest. Running a GTX 1070.

    Is there any known fix for this?
