Alt+Tab screen resolution issues while gaming after latest update.

I play games on an Asus laptop with only an NVIDIA 960M graphics card. I play some games at lower resolutions to keep up frames while gaming. Prior to the update I could alt+tab out of the game and the desktop screen would return to 1920x1080 and tabbing back in would keep lower resolution I have set for the game. Now, when alt tabbing out of of lower resolution screen, Windows desktop reverts to the lower resolution I have set for the game (in-game resolution is 1280x720, as exclusive fullscreen). And when tabbing back into the game there are some video settings being used that are used for 'borderless window' instead of my setting of exclusive fullscreen.

Game Errors because can't press ALT+TAB

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I will surely assist you to rectify the issue.

The “Alt+Tab” key is used to toggle between different programs as well as multiple Windows of same program. I suggest you to use “Alt+Enter”
put the game into full screen.

As a work around, I suggest you to adjust the screen resolution for the game in compatible with the monitor resolution and restart the game and check if it helps.
