    Whenever I F11 any app File Explorer just opens. I already tried updating my GPU drivers from GeForce experience and using DISM and sfc. It's really annoying as I frequently press F11.

    hi dpi issue when exiting some fullscreen programs

    "200%" dpi 4k desktop but use fullscreen @ 1080 for most games.
    when exiting a lot of those games, programs that were opened in the background when the game was in fullscreen (eg... browser, file explorer) loses the dpi upscale until you quit and restart the program.

    any idea how to fix that? (aside from setting desktop to 1080 and use 100% dpi)

    win10 cu home

    thanks.

    Hello,

    I am on Windows 10, and since yesterday, every time I use ALT+TAB to come back to my desktop from a fullscreen application, a file explorer opens up for no reason.

    Thanks in advance !
