    None of my games use Fullscreen Optimizations in Windows 10


    For anyone that doesn't know Windows 10 should automatically run fullscreen games in a borderless windowed mode for faster ALT+TABing which they call Fullscreen Optimizations, but for some reason I've noticed that Windows has stopped running any of my games in this mode. I've tried Googling a solution but the only posts I can find are from people that hate this feature and want to disable it, but I would like the convenience of being able to ALT+TAB without my games crashing. Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks.

    :)

    Hi,

    What games are crashing? Some, or all of them?

    Games from the Windows Store (or Game Pass) either have Fullscreen Optimization enabled by default or run in Windowed Borderless mode which shouldn't cause games to crash when attempting to ALT+TAB.

    You can check whether Fullscreen Optimizations are enabled or not by opening the Xbox Game Bar via Win+G. If you are running in Fullscreen Exclusive, then the display brightness may be flicker. If you are in Fullscreen Optimizations, the Xbox Game Bar should pop up as an overlay.

    Sounds more like a graphics driver issue to me.

    Windows Apps can not have Fullscreen Optimization disabled as it's not possible to access their exe file to disable them.

    how to solve Minecraft windows 10 edition closing problem

    Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

    There are a few things you can try to solve the Minecraft Windows 10 Edition closing problem:

    Update your graphics driver: Make sure your graphics driver is up-to-date. Outdated graphics drivers can cause issues with Minecraft.

    Run the game as an administrator: Right-click on the Minecraft app icon and select "Run as administrator". This can sometimes solve issues with apps closing unexpectedly.

    Disable fullscreen optimizations: Right-click on the Minecraft app icon and select "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility" tab and check the box that says "Disable fullscreen optimizations".

    Reset the app: Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Find Minecraft on the list and click on it. Click on the "Advanced options" link and then click on the "Reset" button.

    Reinstall the app: If none of the above solutions work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Minecraft app. Make sure to back up any saved games or worlds before doing so.

    If the problem persists, you may want to contact Minecraft support for further assistance.

    Game pass might have the most overpaid programmers of all time.

    Currently, Windows 10 doesn't have official support for making a copy or backup of downloaded Store apps and games for use on another device. The closest official feature is

    Delivery Optimization
    which lets you download the app or game from another computer on your local network; see if that feature is suitable for your needs.
