    Microstutter with games whenever in Windowed Mode.


    This issue is really bugging me and i'd really like some indepth help to solve it. I love playing games in windowed mode. I prefer it to fullscreen because i can multitask better. The issue im running into is that whenever I'm running a game in windowed
    mode it'll stutter like its either having an fps drop or a low frametime. This isnt all of the time, but it's enough where i definitely notice it when it happens and, in games like Titanfall 2, can be very distracting. I've tested this with all of my games
    and get it across them all. The issue goes completely away when I use Fullscreen mode. The problem is I lost my multitasking ability in fullscreen as well as the ability to use the Xbox ingame app. I've googled my issue and came up with something deep in the
    OS and how it renders the desktop which causes microstuttering in windowed mode. Also the issue of forced triple bufferingn v-sync? Does anyone have any clues on what I can do to fix this? I was hoping that the Creator's Update and it's "Game Mode" would fix
    this but it unfortunately has not.

    :)

    Online Framerate Cap & HDR Issue [PC]

    When playing the game online the frame rate seems to cap itself at 30fps, while in single player it’s 60fps+. Is there anyway to get around this?

    HDR is not working properly.

    The game seems to only have the option to run in windowed mode or borderless windowed mode.

    Even though the game has a “windowed” and “fullscreen” option, the fullscreen option is actually a borderless windowed mode. For HDR to work properly, it needs to be an actual fullscreen mode.

    Are there any plans for patches to fix these issues?

    Thanks!

    Windows 10 Xbox Companion App Not Receiving Party Invitations

    What notification setting? Im pretty sure the xbox companion app is just busted
    Windows 10 notifications.

    Whenever I play Streaming mode in the app, the notification settings change to not be displayed.

    Xbox 360 wireless not working on Windows 10

    I think you might be having the same problem I'm having. It was also posted here:

    steamcommunity.com/.../522729358580802775

    Whenever I play a game in full-screen mode, I can navigate the menus with the controller but when gameplay starts, it disconnects. I reconnect and when I take it off pause, the controller disconnects again. It works perfectly in windowed mode. Does anyone
    have a solution? Is there a good driver to manually install on Windows 10?

    Cant use mouse on windows 10 games

    Sounds like you are playing window mode vs full screen. There are multiple video modes depending on games. Windowed, window full screen and full screen. Do you have the same issue if you switch modes?

    Maybe you have auto game mode set on your TV. Whenever you start a game it would switch to game mode. Game mode doesn't do any picture processing so the colors won't be as vivid.

    That looks like the case in the pictures. The vivid one is in the dashboard and the other one is in Destiny 2.

    Task Bar and Top of Window Appears When Playing Certain Game Pass Games

    Is there an option for Windowed mode? I haven't played those specific games to test, but some games have Full Screen and Windowed mode, which can run in conjunction. A Full Screen + Windowed mode would exhibit the symptoms you're describing, which is
    being full screen, but still have the window options available. If there is a Windowed option, turn that off.
