cant play games that are not in windowed mode


has any one run into the problem where they can only play a game in windowed mode. because when i try to play a game in fullscreen the game chrashes or it forces me to shutdown my computer. anny ideas ?

What game does that for you? I played the Half Life 2 update and it had to be launched in windowed mode to work.

every single game now advanced warfare dying light dragon ball z bf hardline every single dam game and it sucks to the point i think i am going to have to go back to 8 if i cant find a fix. because its no problem for games that i have already played but whenever i get a new game that crashes on start i cant change it to windowed which means that i cant play it

With some games you can put a shortcut on your desktop. Then click properties. At the target add -windowed at the end. For steam games look here

Half Life 2 update - Page 2 - Windows 10 blog

Hello. I can play but my problem is similar to that. If the game is not windowed I can't Alt-Tab the game. When I click Alt-Tab I can see desktop or other opened windows but I can't return the game anymore. I have to close it from Task Manager. For example CS:GO, Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance sometimes Dota2.

Known issue. we know about and are working on it. Thanks for the feedback.

Use the virtual desktops.

I have the first (left) desktop for my browsers, ect. Then on the second (right) desktop I will launch the game. Afterwards, instead of Alt+Tab, I use Start+Ctrl+Left Arrow to swap to the left desktop with my browser windows, ext, and then Start+Ctrl+Right Arrow to go back to the game.

With more than two virtual desktops, I can even run multiple full-screen games.

try today's windows update...

FOUND A FIX... well kinda if u use nvidia go on geforce experience, chose the game u want to play and click on the spanner next to revert and choose windowed. that will have to do for now
