Are you referring to borderless window mode ?
"Alt Gr + enter" to change change this but i don't really know what you mean with hybrid full screen.
Hi, yes i mean borderless windowed mode (but in game options there is set full screen). My problem is, i want run game in full screen, but Windows 10 keep running it in their exclusive borderless mode. In this link (1. DISABLE FULLSCREEN OPTIMIZATION APP-WISE) is my main problem. Even when i tick "disable full screen optimisation" for Apex, game is still running in Windows exclusive borderless mode. I do not know, how better explain my problem, i tried search on google, and did not found anything about it. Maybe need to restore previous Windows build, where i did not have this problem.
Check 1. in this link.

- 7 years agoI did some more search and i find out, that my problem is, that Apex does not run in exclusive full screen on my PC. It is running in windows borderless screen even when i have set full screen in Apex options. That is why i can see volume overlay, and my mouse has input lag. Any tips, how to make Apex run in exclusive full screen mode? Thanks

Can you try this?
- Go to %USER%\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\ and locate the txtfile
- Open it in a text editor and set the value fullscreento 1
- Save the change and close the file.
- In the file explorer, right click videoconfig.txt then select "Properties"
Make sure the attribute "Read-only" is checked.

Guys, i have game in full screen when i play it. Maybe i badly explained my situation. I still compare 2 games, where i had same problem, Battlefield 5 and Apex Legends.
Problem is, that when i play game in full screen, i can see volume overlay, when +/- sound, and i should not see it, because this is sign, that game is not running in exclusive full screen, but in Windows optimised full screen. I did some search on google, there is not lot info about it, but latest Windows build made this problem. (Windows devs made "disable full screen optimisation" thing in game .exe properties for better performance, but my games run much worse).
Battlefield 5 - I had this problem (playing game in full screen with volume overlay on screen), and i had same issue, mouse cut in horizontal changing view, shooting and overally not smooth gameplay. I had this problem untill latest Battlefield 5 update. That update fixed my issue, now i run Battlefield 5 in exclusive/true full screen, no volume overlay on screen, no mouse cut or any lag and smooth gameplay.
Now i have same problem for Apex Legends i descibed above ( see volume bar, mouse is lagging and game is not running smooth). I tried everything i found on google, but i think that i will need to wait for new Windows build (in April) or update for Apex Legends, that will fix my problem. To be honest, i do not know, what developers of Battlefield 5 did, but i hope, someone from Apex Legends developers read this and maybe can adress my issue. And of course, if you had same issue, or might know how to resolve my problem, thank you for any tip.
*Zeelmaekers: i already tried it with easier method. 🙂
