    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.
