Games are crashing to desktop when put in fullscreen.

Today I began having a multitude of problems with almost every game I have on my PC.

First, they were crashing to desktop on startup, but I found out that it was an issue with Steam and the Steam overlay that was causing it.

Later in the day, I was trying to switch a game into fullscreen mode, and it immediately stopped responding the moment I did so.
I tried it out in other games I had, and it was the same for a majority of them. If they were in fullscreen, then they crashed to the desktop.

I didn't have this problem with War Thunder, which I found strange, but I had it with Counter Strike:Global Offensive, which crashed whether it was in windowed or not.

I've updated my drivers to the most recent update, and I've been looking for fixes to no avail.


The card is a MSI Radeon R7 250X 2GB

I ran CCC to see if I could find anything wrong, but being the computer illiterate person I am, I don't know what any of this means.

Any suggestions/fixes would be appreciated, thanks.

I have the same problem. I was searching through internet to find a solution. unfortunately, lots of people have this problem but I couldn't find any answers. I tried uninstalling windows updates too because the problem is only on windows 10. But it looks like a bug of Nvidia Driver because I faced this problem after installing an updated version of the driver. to play your games in full screen, you can open it windowed and run it in borderless windowed. at least for now
