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.

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. 🙂
This might be a feature the devs. are currently working on.
Do keep in mind the game is entirely free and recently published.
It takes time, funds and effort to fully polish the game to the max.
I myself run every game in border less window, because I'm using 2 monitors. 1 for the game, 1 for the community forum and or youtube. And I don't experience any performance drops at all.Classic Full screen would force you alt-tab inbetween screens in order for you to drag your cursor on to the 2nd screen.
Are you certain there's a problem with windows 10?
Do keep in mind most games are running in windowed mode nowadays. For reasons unknown to me, and I can't see why this would be an annoyance to anyone, but that's just my opinion.
You could try altering config files and settings.
Try running the game on a windows 7 build to see if the game actually supports the classic full screen mode.
