Hello, Tom's Hardware!

I have my own built PC, and it worked fine for a long time. Recently it no longer allows me to use full-screen in any games, but border-less windowed has continued to work fine. I have searched for a solution but it seems every similar problem has a detail about it that doesn't match with mine and thus the solutions do not work.

I have an Acer S230HL and a nvidia 770 if that makes any difference. This problem started on Windows 8, which all my parts are compatible 100% with and persisted onto a clean install of Windows 10.

If you need additional information, please ask. This has become an issue as not all the games I play support border-less windowed and this causes cursor mis-matching and a screen full of other stuff in the background. Thank you for reading this and all possible solutions are welcome!

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be teamviewer that was causing the issue. If I quit teamviewer from the taskbar that solved it.
