  1. The Tab key is prompting me to exit full screen mode


    does anybody have any idea what i might have done to have this happen? any time im playing a game, if i press tab, a window pops up saying 'to exit full screen mode, press ESC'. is there any way i can stop it? tab is usually most games' menu key, so it gets old really fast. and it's only been happening since the update yesterday, although it might not have anything to do with the update.

    Thanks!

    Stuck in safe mode in windows 10

    Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system, it's not good if we got stuck on it. To correct this, we suggest that you follow the steps below to exit out of Safe mode:

    • Open Run command by pressing Windows key + R
      keys on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box and press
      Enter.
    • Under General tab, put a check on Normal Startup option.
    • Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.

    Let us know if you are able to exit out of Safe mode with these steps.
