    Lag when fullscreen or Borderless


    [COLOR=rgba26, 26, 27, 1]Some games slows my PC insanely much when fullscreened/borderless. Happens on Forza Horizon 4 and COD warzone. Does not happen i farcry 5?
    In openhardware and task manager, no recourses are being used until i tab out. Nothing is running hot, it just seems like it does not want to run the games. I can do benchmarks with borderless and just tab out, and the game runs just fine. The second i tab in again, entire pc goes super slow.[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=rgba26, 26, 27, 1]Have not updated any drivers or windows recently, no recent changes at all. Played warzone just fine last friday.
    I tried rebooting and all that. Updated windows already updated, maybe auto updated? , updated GPU driver with clean install. Did not seem to do anything at all.[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=rgba26, 26, 27, 1]ill put a link to a video where you can see how bad it is. You can also see that theres no problem in windowed, or when i tab out. Also when i show task manager and openhardware, you can see usage going from basicly nothing to 90% when i tab out uses no recourses when ingame, using expected amount when i tab out to openhardware or task manager.[/COLOR]

    Windows 10 Borderless Fullscreen

    I recently switched from Windows 7 to 10 and have found out that with multiple monitors, borderless fullscreen doesn't work as it did on Windows 7. I usually play games in borderless fullscreen so that I can easily do other things on my second monitor.
    Whenver I would click on something on my second monitor, the taskbar would appear on my main monitor. However, with Windows 10, this is not the case and the taskbar would not appear. Is there any way to make it so that if I alt tab to my second monitor my
    taskbar will popup on my main monitor?

    Taskbar in fullscreen borderless

    I was having the same exact problem as you. Do you happen to have an Nvidia graphics card? I just got a new driver update a few hours ago and once the drivers were installed, I restarted my PC. Looks like it's back to normal now with the taskbar showing
    up as normal when in borderless fullscreen.
