Exclusive Fullscreen Issue (Apex legends wont go into true fullscreen)

I have a issue where Apex Legends wont go into Exclusive Full screen mode, if I go into any other resolution other than 1920x1080(native) it will go into fullscreen exclusive mode I am also one of many others who have been having this issue it has been a few days and even with the patch no avail to a fix, I have tried multiple methods e.g. ALT+ ENTER disabling third party applications etc.

Go to Nvidia control panel settings > adjust desktop size and position: and click uncheck "No scaling", "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs"

Hi, I also have same problem a few days but this post solved my problem.

1. Open Nvidia Control Panel.
2. Go to Manage 3D settings > Global settings.
4. Change Preferred graphics processor from Auto-select to High Performance Nvidia processor.
5. Click on Apply to save the changes and try running games in fullscreen mode.

I was able to fix my issue:
At first doing the right click r5apex -> properties -> compatibility -> check "Disable fullscreen optimizations" proved as a temporary fix.
However, it turns out Discord was the problem. I just had to quit discord from the taskbar tray and Apex stopped minimizing if in full screen.
Things to note: I have the -fullscreen in the game launch options and I checked the disable fullscreen optimizations. I'm also running Apex in a ratio lower than my native resolution which is 1920x1200, a 16:10 ratio, and my native resolution is 2560x1600.
So try closing Discord, it might help.
