    Games won't open in Fullscreen Mode, but they used to


    Hello, The other day my PC stopped being able to open games solely on fullscreen, when I try they freeze/ don't load up on a black screen sometimes I can hear the audio of the game for example Armored core 6, Monster Hunter World, Leauge of Legends. These games used to open just fine. They are also unable to be closed for example if on Steam and I close from the Steam client it closes the tab but says stopping indefinitely.PC Specs:Windows 11Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621 GPU amd radeon rx 6750 xt CPU AMD Ryzen 5 7600xLet me know if anything else is needed.Many Thanks

    :)

    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!

    Games won't open in Fullscreen Mode, but they used to

    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'.
