    Samsung Magician caused Battlefront and Battlefield 4 to be unplayable in full screen and borderless with Windows 10.

    Exited the program (running in background) and poof all good.

    Good luck

    Hi Oliver,

    Is this issue specific to this particular game only? If yes, in which game is this bahaviour noticed?

    This issue could occur if the your playing a game at a different resolution than the desktop resolution. I owuld suggest you to se the resolution for both as the same and then check if the issue persists. If the issue persits, I owuld suggest you to install the drivers from the manufacturer's website in comatibility mode. Try these steps and let us know the results.

    NO .. It happens with all my downloaded games.

    Hey all,

    First post, so hopefully it helps somebody 😁 

    Had similar issues trying to get games to run at the correct refresh rate in 4096x2160 two things I've found helped me were:

    1.) Alt + Enter is a keyboard shortcut to swap applications between full screen and windowed mode. Works wonders as windows 10 often starts games in windowed full-screen mode without you noticing (think it's something to do with virtual desktops) which tends to hinder performance! 

    2.) In the windows 10 settings (not control panel) there are options to snap a window when it's dragged to the edge of your screen. I think they're on by default. I've found it to create a small invisible border at the edge of the window, which some apps / games don't recognise properly and think your resolution is a pixel smaller than it actually is, forcing the windowed mode issue. Turn all of these off (along with the tablet mode settings - if you're running on a desktop PC). 

    Hope this helps somebody - I may not have time to respond to any questions, so sorry if I don't get back to you.

    Thanks all,

    Nathan

    Would recommend you either:

    A.) Turn off windows automatic driver downloads. Then reinstall the drivers from your CD and windows shouldn't overwrite them when you connect to the internet. I think the option should be in the windows update settings area, but may be wrong.

    B.) Update your Intel drivers via their website, or go into device manager. Then system devices, and manually check for updates on each item in the list (right click and update).

    Hope this helps somebody!
