    I can only see games in full screen mode./


    I know this may be a simple issue to some but I just cant seem to figure out what the issue is.For the last week or so whenever I try to play a game it HAS to be in full screen mode otherwise it will be a black screen except a strip at the bottom where the taskbar would be.I have tried updating my GPU drivers, making sure there's nothing in task manager using a bunch of resources, ive checked speccy to ensure nothing is overheating, checked all the display cables to ensure they are plugged in properly and functioning okay.My Specs: OS: Windows 10 GPU: MSI GTX 3060Ti CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X RAM: 32g
