  1. PC games crashing when booted in Fullscreen


    Hi,
    So basically I'm quite new to PC gaming Finished building my own PC last month and its been going really well until sometime last week. I noticed that my Star Wars Battlefront 2 wasn't booting up that smoothly. I was booting it up and it would go into full screen then mess up the display a bit and then minimizes itself. I'd then wait a bit and try to open it and it'd do the same thing again. It was about the 4/5th try that it would actually open. However if I wanted to tab out I'd have to do all of that again.
    I just thought it was Battlefront that was bugged however last night I went to play Assassins Creed Valhalla and near enough the same thing happened and when it was up and playable I couldn't use my second monitor. And the weirdest thing is that its only those two games, when I boot Rainbow 6 siege or Sea of Thieves everything is completely fine and normal.
    Me and my mate found that the problem must be when I boot them from full screen Rainbow six siege and Sea of Thieves are still being booted from full screen and the problem then is battlefront 2 doesn't actually allow me to fully tab out of the game?
    I did a windows update last night and that did seem to fix the issue for a time being. Then I went to play on Battlefront 2 this morning and it was back, I did notice that I had another windows update but didn't make the slightest difference.
    I've updated my drivers, updated windows, reinstalled Star Wars Battlefront 2, restarted my PC, booted the games through different launchers and after all that nothing changed.
    Any help would be extremely appreciated as I love Battlefront 2 and want to play is asap ahaha
    My specs are:

    Motherboard - ASUS PRIME B450 Plus
    CPU - Ryzen 7 2800X

    GPU - ROG STRIX RTX 2060
    RAM - 16GB G.Skill Trident Z
    PSU - Corsair RM850x

    :)

  2. 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!

    PC games crashing when booted in Fullscreen

    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'.
