    Minecraft Fullscreen Force Close


    Hello,

    I have Minecraft for Windows 10, the app. It ran fine in windowed mode, but I set it to go fullscreen in the options, and now it force closes at the Mojang title screen. I need to somehow reset the options. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, however it still retains the fullscreen option.

    It is for my youngest son, so any help is appreciated. Anyone able to help?

    :)

  2. Xbox App shows "Nothing to Record, Play some more"

    I have the same problem. This has been working for months and now it doesn't work. (The game i'm trying to record is not on steam, it's Minecraft.) I did try fullscreen, it did not work. It has worked before on Minecraft.

    Is there a way to force close a frozen fullscreen game when Ctrl Alt Del doesn't work?

    Occasionally when I'm playing a full screen game it freezes and Ctrl+Alt+Delete has no effect, the computer locks up completely and I cannot minimise or exit the frozen game. In these situations the only way to make the computer usable again is to force
    shutdown and restart. Is there another way to force something to close?

    Just now, Minecraft locked up so I could look around and break blocks but could not move and could not minimise or close Minecraft, Ctrl+Alt+Del had no effect.

    I would look in the Appdata and sub folders to see if there is a minecraft or a Microsoft games/minecraft folder that is holding your settings, then find the setting for full screen and change it back to windowed.

    I can't check as I'm not at home right now, so for all I know it might be stored in the registry instead.

    Appdata folder is a hidden folder so you'll have to change settings to view hidden folders.

    You can also attempt (I think, I'm not positive on this) trying to hit Alt+Enter keys as soon as you start the game, hopefully before it has time to crash, I'm pretty sure there is a key combination that makes full screen games go to windowed mode and visa versa when pressed, and seem to think it's the Alt + Enter keys.

    Note: It depends on the software and or game as to what Alt+Enter will do. But I thought that's what I pressed inmany games to go to full screen so maybe Microsofts developers of Win 10 edition kept the same convention. Maybe not. Give it a try anyway.

    I searched appdata, local, localow and roaming and could not find a Minecraft, windowsapps, or anything to do with games. I also cannot get alt+enter to work, although I know that it is the right key combo.

    Thank you for the reply.
